Smallpox death rate was 30% if you caught it.
Polio death rate was 2-5% for children, 20-30% for adults.
So no Dr. Fraudci, there would not have been anywhere close to the resistance to the vaccine as there is to a disease that has a .05% death rate.
And besides after all the lies you've been caught in Dr. Fraduci, everytime you speak publicly resistance probably increases.

to a disease that has a .05% death rate.

How does that work? 0.2% of all Americans died from COVID, so that's the floor of the death rate. There are many other causes of death, made premature from COVID. A lot of that was unnecessary but real. People argue that treatments would have greatly lowered the death rate. The atudy I read said 75% of death would have been avoided with better treatment.

So that's one way to get to your 0.05% (25% of 0.2%). But that still assumes that 100% of Americans were infected.
