> Did we ever get a vaccine for trench foot? > No, because trench foot is something not treatable by vaccines. Isn’t that tautological? History and the future are full of things that can be treated with a vaccine that were not previously. | ||||||||

I apologize if I’m missing the point you’re making, but trench foot and vaccines are completely unrelated. Vaccines fundamentally impact viruses. Trench foot is not caused by a virus, or any infection. It’s more akin to frostbite. We’re really pushing the boundaries of what we can do with vaccines, but the root cause of trench foot is poor circulation, and a vaccine can’t really fix that. | ||||||||
