8 or 9 polio vaccines were created then pulled the moment they didn't work or were too dangerous before Salk came along.

If the intent were to protect the vaccinated, you would be correct, or nearly so. However, herd immunity protects those who can't get vaccinated, are especially vulnerable, or who fall through the cracks. We want to get so many people vaccinated that it will just become like measles, mumps, and polio. Something we used to worry about

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C25&as_vis=1&q=vaccine+effectiveness+and+herd+immunity&btnG=#d=gs_qabs&u=%23p%3DbX3mNwSH5PMJ

The necessary herd immunity blocking the transmission of an infectious agent in the population is established when the prevalence of protected individuals is higher than a critical value, called the herd immunity threshold. The establishment of herd immunity in the population can be determined using the vaccination coverage and seroepidemiological surveys. The vaccination coverage associated with herd immunity (Vc) can be determined from the herd immunity threshold and vaccine effectiveness.

Blah blah blah bullshit. Vaccines are to protect the person getting the vsccine. Your collectivist revisionism about how we are all responsible for the health of others is absurd. That's now how life works. The strong taking shit they don't need to protect those that can't protect themselves is racial suicide.

Sure. I'm such a good revisionist I jumped in my delorian and went back and had schools mandate vaccines. And I wrote that paper back in 2012 explaining vaccine effectiveness and herd immunity. You don't have to believe it. You don't have to follow it. But at this point you are making up definitions and then calling people who point you to why you are wrong as the ones revising things.

Don't get the vaccine if you don't want, but ongoing nonsensical attacks are going to lose you more support than it gets you. People who already agree with you will lap it up, but you aren't going to convince anyone.

Do you know how many people died of the flu in in the 90s. Guess what, you can't find out. They intertwined pneumonia deaths with the flu to cover up the numbers and scare people into the flu shot. So feel free to miss me with any bullshit they've said since 2000. Then what happens post flu shot? Oh Sars and Mers and h1n1 and all that fun stuff. Oh and they came from Wuhan too! Imagine multiple blackholes show up at the haldron collider and everyone decided to listen to the scientists and benefactors for solutions. Boy wonder where they all came from eh? What happened right before the last pandemic? Oh yeah Rockefeller was screwing around with vaccines.

Let's also not pretend we all exist therefor herd immunity exists without vaccines. Plus this isn't even a vaccine. This isn't an incapacitated virus, it's just some genetic manipulation bullshit that has a very short term protection window. Programmed obsolescence to ensure repeat business.

So go ahead and copy and paste some more articles instead of exercising simple logic and attention.

Covid is the first time mRNA vaccines have been used large scale, but they've been researched for a while. There are multiple types of vaccines (https://www.hhs.gov/immunization/basics/types/index.html), not just weakened or dead viruses.

Coronaviruses originate in bats. China has over 100 species of bat and is considered a hotspot for likely emergence of new corona viruses. If you are studying coronaviruses, you go to where you are likely to find them.

People seldom die directly from the flu - it progresses into pneumonia or one of a few other conditions. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop. I remember when, liberals were overreacting because Covid had killed fewer than the flu.

Herd immunity exists without vaccines - absolutely. But, that's like walking you can walk 50 miles instead of driving - I'm not saying you won't get there but why won't get there as quickly it is estimated that 1/3 of Americans had had Covid by the end of 2020. If that rate holds and herd immunity is around 70%, we could be overwhelming our hospitals until 2023. Longer with variants.

I don't get it. People get vaccinated to protect themselves, not other people. At least - that's how it was before liberal wokeavist idiots turned public health into a political issue.

It's both. Some vaccines are for personal protection, but others are for both. Look at the list of vaccines that you are required to get for school.

Either way, I'm not going to stick a drug in me to make a stranger feel better about being around me. If they didn't feel comfortable about being around me in the first place, that's their problem, not mine. I don't like people, anyway.

So don't get it. You might have to change jobs to one who allows testing in lieu of getting vaccinated once the OSHA guidance comes out. Or you might have to request a religious exception with your employer, but nobody is going to hold you down and force you to get vaccinated.

Nobody is forcing you to get raped, they are just making it harder to avoid and I think that is a great thing!

That is one weak analogy.

I would classify what is happening as coercion.
