So you are retracting your portion of the following dialogue:

Hijexx: What is your demarcation line between a disease that requires public health management and one that does not? You know where mine is.

Decius: Name a disease that can be managed through vaccination and impacts a significant percentage of the population that we do not manage as a public health problem. In my opinion the demarcation line is where we can.

Consider it retracted.

Its not retracted. I said where we can. The criteria "significant precentage of the population" is not "as defined by hijexx" its as constrained by the notion that the vaccination ought to cost less than the disease.

The one unknown in your position is who decides that the cost would be lower. Is it the State, a corporation, or some other sort of organization?

Ultimately, its the state that decides these things. My preference would be that the decisions be based on independent study... the FDA for example.
