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.

You are way off, need medical history lesson.

“Chance of getting smallpox in the USA is even smaller.”
That’s because it was virtually eradicated by a REAL vaccine.

Not only did I get the shingles a week after I got the shingles jab, I gave the shingles to my wife. It’s a racket.

My father was in the 5% that don’t recover from shingles. Suffered its pain the rest of his life.

It’s vaccine vs. 1 in 3 odds of getting it and then 1 in 20 odds of not beating it, or 1 in 60 odds of not beating it.
