There are diseases with such high mortality rates that vaccines, even if risky, make sense. COVID is not among that list of diseases.
The saying that desperate times call for desperate measures was never more true than when applied to vaccination. Consider the first vaccine in 1796, when a young boy was inoculated against smallpox. It had been noticed that milkmaids almost never contracted smallpox. Milkmaids frequently caught cowpox, a mild illness related to smallpox. British physician Edward Jenner theorized that infecting someone with cowpox would confer immunity to smallpox.
The procedure was simple enough. A cut was made in the arm, and fluid from cowpox blisters was smeared in the cut. The person would contract cowpox and then be immune to smallpox. Jenner’s theory was correct, and he is now considered the father of vaccinology.
The procedure was simple, but to a modern eye, it also seems disgusting. Smearing liquid from cow blisters onto open wounds is not something most of us would care to do. Or would we? Smallpox was a very contagious disease that killed many of the people who contracted it. The survivors were immune to another attack, but they were also usually disfigured for life. Many people were very willing to take a desperate measure to prevent such a fate.
Louis Pasteur was not even a doctor when he developed a vaccine for rabies. In our modern world, rabies is a plot point in movies like Old Yeller. In Pasteur’s time, rabid animals were so terrifying that any pet dog was suspect and might be killed out of hand. Rabies is almost 100 percent fatal. It causes hallucinations and painful spasms, and a person infected with the disease could become violently aggressive.

Remember when Zer0 refused to impose travel restrictions from Ebola-stricken African countries?
The people taking away others jobs because of this shot are the ones that are sick IMO.
Has the writer never heard of george washington. America would be a much different place if he hadnt had the foresight of how to deal with smallpox
Remember when 50 people died from swine flu vaccinations anf they stopped them....
The possibility that Ebola could turn out to be the “mass pandemic” that would induce the dieback of the human population of the world was very much on the minds of the “smart people” who were running the Obama regime, thus there was great reluctance to impose travel bans on those areas where Ebola seemed to have already reach epidemic proportions.
The same approach, albeit more slowly, was to use the influx of largely unvaccinated but illegal entrants to the United States, bringing with them not only COVID-19 Wuhan virus, but a number of other communicable diseases that had largely been stamped out here in the US. Couple that to the slow-walking of alternative forms of treatment (ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine-zinc-azithromycin protocol, monoclonal antibody treatment), and insisting on universal injections of a largely experimental mRNA based vaccine, that does NOT prevent variant forms of COVID-19 Wuhan virus, and becomes ineffective after about a few months, and which has its own serious to deadly side effects, some of which may not be known for years yet.
The campaign to shorten the life spans of humanity everywhere in the world continues unabated, with the eventual goal of decimating the total human population of this planet to a “manageable” level.
Take away the access to resources that support the present level of human existence, and let the bastards freeze in the dark, coughing their lungs out from untreated diseases.
Mass warfare is just not effective for reducing the total human population.
Looking at old cemetery records in the early 1800’s in Upstate NY (Rochester), it was measles measles measles....and these were generally little children.
Are you comparing severity of small pox to Covid? If so ,you’re ignorant. Regeneron alone is a sufficient treatment to knock Covid out. So where are the constant public service announcements and injection centers?
Went right over your head. Read the article again and then read my post
No sh**!
“Has the writer never heard of george washington. America would be a much different place if he hadnt had the foresight of how to deal with svaccine?
Are you saying the 13 colonies ratified a constitution that gave the federal government so much power that the first president could mandate a vaccine?
A virus with a 99.5% survival rate is not a pandemic.
99% survival rate for COVID-19 regardless of vaccination status
I'm not sure why or how you're haranguing the writer. His point stands: with a 99% survival rate, COVID-19 is a much of a nothingburger as the common cold. Smallpox, however, carried a not-insignificant risk of death not to mention horrifying deformation if you were lucky enough to survive.
It's not even comparing apples and oranges. It's comparing apples and baseballs.
If you had a point you were trying to make, perhaps clarify it?
Washington mandated a smallpox vaccination method, not a vaccine itself, for the Continental Army in the northeast. It worked, but with deaths.
Did that article mention george washington at all?
Or the fact that we likely wouldnt be the USA if Washington hadnt understood the concept of vaccination..which..btw...was before 1796
I’ve been trying to make the article’s point to friends and family for a few months now, but with numbers. Most folks have no clue just how few people have contracted or died of Covid — they always WAY overestimate when asked.
In Virginia, after nearly two years of Covid and two major spikes, we’ve just recently passed 10% of the population contracting Covid. That means it would take nearly 20 years for the entire state to catch Covid, and even then not everyone would. Deaths are even more ludicrous — using the current trend it would take nearly 1400 years for the population of Virginia to die from Covid. Most folks are dumbfounded by the numbers. It’s just not a serious pandemic.
However, I have also been questioning why the elites are pushing vaccines so hard. My first though still runs to money (it’s always — always — about money). But part of me thinks there MUST be more to Covid that they’re not telling us. The “flu,” even a serious flu, doesn’t justify or explain the panic and push.
So recently I’ve started thinking maybe the vaccine isn’t a vaccine for Covid at all. Maybe it’s a vaccine for something far more serious that may be just around the corner — like the recent stories about Wuhan working with Nipah. Covid gives them the perfect reason for the vaccine (as well as conditioning for the other mitigation measures), without telling the horrible, panic-worthy truth.
And yet I still can’t dismiss the thought that it’s just about money... :-D
It may not have technically been a vaccine but john hancock did similar to this guy with the milkmaid..cut the skin..vaccinated small pox
No... the article didn’t mention Washington. You did. I’m not sure I understand your corollary.
You’re talking about the war for our independence and a disease that killed 30% of the people who contracted it. We’re not at war with a foreign power (arguably) and the “pandemic” is with a disease with which 99%+ of those contracting it survive without much ado.
I’m still not clear on your intent, but I’m willing to drop it if I’m just being dense.
Maybe the writer should have recognized the contribution of Washington to the concept of vaccination.
So either clueless...or left out by design
You choose
Problem is that CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.
