Talk:Stalingrad (Grossman novel)

Are there vaccines for bacterial diseases?
In the paragraph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalingrad_(Grossman_novel)#The_Book_as_propaganda, it currently reads:

"The Soviets had developed vaccines against two very common war-time diseases: typhus and tularemia."

Both of those are bacterial infections, so this does not seem to make any sense, or does it? Maybe the editor confused vaccines with antibiotics? Somebody knowledgable in the subject matter please review this. --2A02:120B:2C0B:C820:C504:197F:FF3C:9240 (talk) 09:20, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Answer: Vaccines are created for bacterial diseases.

In researching the typhus vaccine, it is not clear if the USSR vaccinated at that point in the war. The vaccine was developed in pre-war Poland and captured by the Nazis. See [| Typhus] vaccine. I will correct the article. Thanks!

The Soviets did create and use a [| Tularemia] vaccine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr sfzed (talk • contribs) 01:04, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I applied tags for NPOV, Essay, and Tone. Since December 2020, User:Dr sfzed has greatly enlarged the article but without adding any references directly relating to the book. I don't know if this is a case of someone with an axe to grind, someone who should be directed to EXPERT, or if the community agrees that this is an okay way to write an article. My proposal would be to cut way back on most of this addition.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 02:49, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
