Our current approach to medicine follows standardized protocols, requiring everyone to receive the same treatments, including vaccines at specific ages and uniform dosages. Yet, science tells us—10th-grade biology tells us—that each and every human is unique and, therefore, extraordinary. Even though your DNA is a 99.9% match to every other human on earth, that 0.1% is at the heart of your uniqueness: it’s responsible for genomic variations in height, weight, skin or eye, predispositions to sweet, tart, spicy or other tastes… Even the type of earwax that lines your ear canal. Therefore, healthcare should be personal, not cookie-cutter. For instance, precision medicine recognizes that the vaccines you receive—and the timing and dosage—should reflect your unique biology. Do you agree?
