analyzing causative agents

[cman89]

Is anybody aware of value in analyzing how the order of stressors affects disease severity? I know that this would be almost impossible to quantify fully, but I wonder if there would be any value in trying to evaluate, say the difference in severity of someone who had a vaccine first, then fell ill with an infection, vs someone who fell ill, then had a vaccine, etc....

Hi again, from what I understand is that it is not advised to have vaccines during a viral infection but my doctor didn't know exactly what was happening at the time.

i see. Yeah, there is no way I would have had my vaccine after my recent bout of being sick. Im not that unaware, and I dont trust MDs by default

I agree. I was due for the 3rd Hep B vaccine and told my doctor to forget it. Thank goodness because I may have been even worse off than I am now.
