> I would welcome a vaccine for the foulbroods...AFB or EFB. ASAP.

Who wouldn't. What I object to is talking about a thing as if it already exists, when it's far from that. For example, in 2015 you could read:
> Use of RNAi technology is now being applied as an oral vaccine for bees for the control of Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV), which is linked to colony collapse disorder (CCD) -- International Animal Health Journal

It wasn't true then, and it isn't now. People have been working on it for ten years...
