On this subject I'll throw my 2 cents in. My wife got vaccinated because she works in a hospital where the OB unit has been converted into a COVID overflow ward. I got vaccinated because I work with people coming out of 11 different correctional institutions where this shit has run rampant. I get first hand accounts from the people I work with who watched this shit spread through the units like wildfire. Granted, the only people who died were already in poor health or had serious underlying (comorbid) factors. I also watched my father-in-law, who listens to ding ding radio all day, refuse to get vaccinated and now he is on deaths door. There is a reason Polio and Smallpox are a thing of the past. Don't know how the right got on this kick of distrust of science but carry on my friends.
Polio - The case fatality ratio for paralytic polio is generally 2% to 5% among children and up to 15% to 30% among adolescents and adults
Smallpox - Two forms of the disease are recognized, variola minor with a mortality rate of approximately 1%, and the more common variola major with a mortality rate of 30%. Between 65–80% of survivors are marked with deep pitted scars (pockmarks), most prominent on the face.
Coronavirus - Nobody knows the death rate because so many deaths that had nothing to do with COVID have been attributed to COVID, also many positive cases have gone unreported due to patients being asymptomatic. There is no way to determine the actual fatality rate but we can all agree it is negligible compared to polio and smallpox.
There is also a flu shot. Is that also a thing of the past?
You're talking apples and oranges dude.
