You are all entitled to your belief about the Covid vaccine and whether you want to take it or not and how it was rolled out but you all need to understand the science of vaccines and stop comparing polio/smallpox to flu/covid.
As indicated below, a flu or COVID vaccine is an immunity boost to assist your body with the novel virus (novel because of the mutations). You might need it, you might not depending on your immune system but for flu/COVID, the vaccine is an added protection to help your body fight it whereas with smallpox and polio, it is the same thing for the past 60-75 years...the immune cure to kill the virus directly which shows up in your body exactly the same.
Now we know Biden and CDC said wrong things about the vaccine but Biden and the element of the CDC that said that were political messages. When I had a question about the vaccine I called my doctor, not my Congressman. And a family member who does consulting with the CDC told me (shocking) that Fauci and leadership making these comments were purely political and the message was controlled. trump, fauci and biden all made statements for political purposes.
But read the snippet below and get a little educated. The same class of idiots who said the vaccine means you dont get Covid also said inject bleach. The problem is we have a dumb population and science never stood a chance to emerge.
The measles and polio viruses are stable and don’t mutate over time, Amiji says. The same is true for the virus for smallpox, which has been eradicated globally and only exists in the lab.
Making a vaccine with an antigen from a stable virus means a vaccinated person’s immune system is primed to recognize and destroy the virus every time it appears, Amiji says.
“If you start to see an outbreak of polio, in any part of the world, these vaccines are still incredibly effective. If the virus crops up, it won’t evade the immune system or evade the vaccine’s response,” he says.
Such is not the case with influenza, the virus that causes flu, and SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
COVID-19 has gone through an alphabet soup of strains, from the Alpha to Beta, Delta, Omicron, Pirola and Eris — and is still evolving.
“Even though we have so many people either having natural infection or who have been vaccinated, these viruses continue to mutate,” Amiji says.
