I think smallpox would fit in with the writer’s 99.X% chance of fighting a virus off. Chance of getting smallpox in the USA is even smaller.

I have been considering getting the shingles vaccine but need to do more research. Shingles sounds like a nasty thing to get.

“Would you get the vaccine for small pox?”

Well, that WAS a vaccine, for a very deadly disease, not a gene tampering experiment for a hyped up, fear promoted scam for power, control and enormous money.

Seriously, one would think that you pro vexxers would by now for the sake of common decency just slither away.

When I was a kid they had small pox parties. Not mass hysteria.

Small pox is not a coronavirus.

The vaccine for it is not even close to being in the same category as this experimental treatment called a Covid “vaccine”.

You’re not even close to comparing two similar things.

It’s very disingenuous and deceitful to pretend you are.

” More contagious than Covid-19 and with a 30 percent mortality rate, smallpox was one of history’s biggest killers. “

So, yeah...probably.

Smallpox was an infectious disease caused by one of two virus variants, Variola major and Variola minor.[7] The agent of variola virus (VARV) belongs to the genus Orthopoxvirus. [11] The last naturally occurring case was diagnosed in October 1977, and the World Health Organization (WHO) certified the global eradication of the disease in 1980.

Smallpox WAS an infectious disease

No, I would not get a smallpox vaccine. Why get a vaccine for something that no longer exists?

Do you know why you no longer get a vaccine for small pox?

Because chance of dying from the vaccine greater then chance of dying from the disease.

You have almost no chance at all of dying of small pox but you have a chance of dying from the vaccine.

We are not vaccinated against any number of things for that very reason.

It is quite logical for anyone who's brain has not been replaced with cauliflower.

Why would you take an experimental vaccine that will not keep you from getting sick, might only reduce the symptoms and has side effects that may kill you?
