Franklin Warned Us!!!!

“In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the smallpox taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation. This I mention for the sake of the parents who omit that operation, on the supposition that they should never forgive themselves if a child died under it; my example showing that the regret may be the same either way, and that, therefore, the safer should be chosen.”

Benjamin Franklin, autobiography.

Smallpox was more infectious and had a drastically higher mortality rate; 30% compared to COVID-19's 0.1% for people in that age range. It's a bad comparison.

That said... if you can get vaccinated, you should get vaccinated. Talk to a doctor, do what you have to do, but get it if it's safe for you to get it.

The fact that Benjamin Franklin was on record as being on COMPLETELY the other side of this issue is a bad comparison?

Shocking.

You intentional stupidity is annoying. You understand full well I was comparing smallpox and COVID.

Your lack of critical reasoning and language composition... after all of our interactions isn't shocking. Expected.

I don't see ANYWHERE where Benjamin Franklin says that the infection rates had anything to do with it. He grieved the loss of a loved one that was completely preventable by inoculation and that brought him to the conclusion that you should all get your shots. You have not changed his point. Your comment was meaningless.
