Do you understand the difference between very old vaccines that have been effective for decades vs the brand new covid vax that was aggressively pushed?

(Im not arguing pro or con on the covid vax)

I'm simply wondering if you genuinely dont understand the difference and human nature.

There is a % of the population that are "anti vax" for all vaccines but that is a pretty small number in the big picture.

yes. but this thread is not about covid vax and all the surrounding stuff.

When I was a kid we laughed at the measles.

All getting the measles meant was getting to stay home and read comic books while the rest of the suckers were in school.

It was nothing. We almost hoped we'd get it.

Only the genetically weak have anything to worry about. The type of frail people who die from colds.

lol. It’s lasted this long… I’m starting to feel like the mods are inviting more dc shit in. Off season entertainment perhaps? Sexual frustration? Perhaps. Irritating me? Most likely.

Fair enough. Today when you hear "anti vax" it is usually about the most recent years. My point is I dont think very many folks are against the traditional MMRs that have been around for decades.

I hope you are correct.

Chicken pox in kids is usually mild. Mostly just a nuisance. For adults is usually worse.

Measles extremely contagious, about one in a thousand will die and more may suffer permanent damage although it isn't always obvious. For instance immune system may be slightly weaker. May be slight brain damage.

Polio is contagious. From one in a hundred to one in a thousand can end up with serious, life long nervous problems, paralysis. Can strike in childhood, go into remission, and return in adulthood.

All three have vaccines.

MMR vaccination rates have been dropping in recent years.

If MMR rates in schools/school districts are above 95%, measles won't spread in that school, school district and kids/schools tend to be common source of spread.

But a 85% rate can allow measles to spread.

My dad had Polio.

The MMR vaccine was taken by 95.2% of students in 2020.

Now, that percentage is closer to 92%…below herd immunity.

Wonder what happened after 2020….

Bobby said this is normal this time of year.

Not that it matters. If you get vaccinated you're covered. It doesn't matter what your neighbor does. That's their risk.

IF only there were a way to prevent lighting strikes with a harmless pinch to the arm that was administered by a highly educated expert that would also prevent the electricity form spreading to others.

What they do doesn't matter.

This is like arguing that cavities will spread to your family if your neighbor doesn't brush his teeth. Not true. If you take TRT therapy your test will go up. Your neighbor doesn't have to. His low T is his problem.

It’s already been said but children aren’t given their first MMR vaccine until they’re 12 months old. They don’t receive the second dose until they’re like 4 or something.

It’s not as simple as you’re making it out to be.
