Yep. One of my friends died of Covid before the vaccines were available. Many died from Covid—many before the vaccines were first introduced.

Vaccines are important and valuable. One of the side effects of earlier vaccines, such as measles, polio, and others, is that some people lived long enough to make stupid comments on the internet.

The COVID shot is not a true vaccine. It is a fallacy to group all vaccines together. Most so-called "anti-vax" people would take a rabies shot if bitten by a rabid bat.

Fewer people would volunteer a hep-b shot for a new born. There are different reasons to be "for" or "against" any individual vaccine or shot, and some of those reasons have to do with personal physiology.

Hate to break it to you but polio and smallpox are very different types of viruses than Covid which mutates making vaccines difficult to make/be effective. Look it up.

Me too. I know four people personally, who died from Covid. One of them was my father. I know indirectly of probably about a dozen people who died from COVID (e.g. a friend of a friend). COVID was real. The COVID vaxes are not for everyone, and it’s probably not a good idea for children to take them, as a general rule. But the hysteria over them has gotten out of hand.
