No - we all took the polio vaccine to protect the young via herd immunity. We did the same for small pox, rubella, measles, etc. Getting a shot to protect others was not an innovation of COVID. Getting an untested shot manufactured under dubious conditions? That was new.
No, I was given the polio vaccine as a child to keep from getting polio. My wife didn’t get it and she got polio. Fortunately she somehow recovered but has been pretty much paying for it her whole life. Others getting that shot didn’t do anything for her.
