Ons smallpox shot protects you for life. Same same other vaxes. Yet these covid concoctions are pathetically worthless.

Nuremberg City time.

Actually, it is unlikely that the smallpox vaccine protects for a lifetime. There has been concern over a smallpox bio-attack for that very reason.

Except for flu vaccines, which have to be tailored for the "best guess" of which flu strains and mutations that will occur in the coming flu season.

That is completely incorrect. Small pox vaccines have also not been given out since 1972 after eradication.

One smallpox shot protects you for life.

My folks got smallpox vaccinations when they were toddlers. First time they went overseas (as teens), they had to get booster shots for smallpox. Both had side effects, too; relatively minor inflammation. Mom can still be provoked to rant about it.

Well, except for polio which requires 4 shots, and tetanus which requires a booster every 10 years, and typhoid which lasts 2-5 years, etc., etc., etc.

Smallpox vaccine absolutely does not protect for life you are wrong. For those who handle smallpox professionally they get boosters every year. People who have exposure also get a booster if the original dose was more than three years old. Before smallpox was eradicated to travel to a smallpox country you had to have a booster every three years and a WHO yellow card to enter them proving you had the three year or less booster. Same for yellow fever , dengue or typhoid counties all still require yellow cards.

“Before smallpox was eradicated, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that international travelers to nonendemic countries should be revaccinated every five to 10 years and travelers to endemic countries should be revaccinated every three years. Lab workers in diagnostic facilities and others more likely to be exposed to the smallpox virus were advised to be vaccinated once a year. “
A study of smallpox cases imported into nonendemic countries found that mortality was 52 percent among the unvaccinated, 11 percent among those vaccinated more than 20 years earlier and 1.4 percent of those vaccinated within 10 years. Therefore, vaccination 40 years ago most likely does not confer protection against smallpox infection,”

Knowledge is half the battle.
