Hopefully you’re joking. Given the common (average?) reaction of two days of feeling flu-like and feverish after Covid vaccination, not to mention people who predictably react worse than average, I can think of a lot of times I’d rather schedule that sadly worthwhile experience than the first two days of an international trip.
Yes, the ideal tech would be configured to not have a noticeable effect on those already current on all recommended vaccines. So it would only be noticable at all if your neglected your vaccinations.
Is that sort of configuration even biologically possible (or realistic)? I have no deep immunology understanding, but I think bad reactions to vaccines have little to nothing to do with whether you’re up-to-date on previous vaccines. So far, I’m not sure we’re good at predicting who reacts with more severe side effects than average (and if we did, it’s not like it’s easy to tweak the vaccine, except for tradeoff-y things like lowering the vaccination dose).
Honestly, I don’t know. I’m just trying to be open minded about the weird stuff that might become possible due to rapid advances in AI speeding up tech progress generally. Areas like biotech, where the complexity of the problem and our limited understanding are the bottlenecks will be more likely to progress rapidly than, say, energy or mass constrained areas of tech.
