“but the dirty little secret is that you never lived in a time or place before these modern vaccines and treatments were available.”
The “dirty little secret” is that the incidence of those diseases had dropped like a rock for several decades before the vaccines were released due to the evolution of sanitation, hygiene and electrification throughout the nation.
As for the Covid vaccine being “overhyped”, you’re about 2 years late on that, you need to catch up. It’s a shut book that it was created IN LOCKSTEP with the gene therapy shot (not a vaccine by any legal definition) as a binary biological weapons system. The patents, the papers, the emails etc... are all there and in the words, deeds and contracts of the perpetrators.
I remember reading something along those lines, not very long ago. It mentioned polio in particular, and how improved sanitation had more to do with its decrease than Salk and Sabin ever did. Very thought-provoking.
