I’m talking about vaccinations saving lives. Not COVID-19 specifically.
Smallpox alone killed 500 million human beings in its last 100 years of existence before a 10 year mass vaccination campaign wiped it off the face of the planet. Let alone all the other things children today don’t have to deal with thanks to vaccines.
Measles, mumps, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, rubella, smallpox, tetanus, vericella, diptheria, and on and on and on. Add up all the lives saved every single year by NOT HAVING these diseases tearing through our communities. Diseases that have been around for thousands of years; some of them continuing to ravage poorer nations. But our kids don’t have to deal with them now because vaccination has given us non-stop herd immunity without anyone having to get sick.
So yes, vaccines have saved millions of American lives. And many of the people raging against vaccines today have the PRIVILEGE of doing so because their life was preserved BY a vaccine.
Oh, I see. That line was just more of your demagogic sophistry. I should have recognized that.
