Smallpox has been eliminated. Guess how. Vaccination.
No one is denying that the vaccine that eliminated smallpox or polio were great developments. All we are saying is that bringing them into this discussion is idiotic.
1. Both of those vaccines took 50 years to develop, had several attempts that were neither safe nor effective and it wasn't until we had 12 years of data that we mandated them. Therefore they are evidence that supports the vaccine hesitant that are arguing against a vaccine mandate of an Experimental vaccine.
2. Was there ever a pandemic in human history that was ended with a vaccine? No. Your use of the smallpox vaccine suggests you may not understand that and have confused the two issues.
3. What has always worked in the past is human immunity, staying home if you are sick with symptoms, and treatments that help boost the immune system. I have used HCQ twice and both times it worked remarkably well. Not just for me but also for my wife and son. We have learned that there is a direct correlation between how serious you get sick from Covid and how much vitamin D you have in your system. Take vitamin D and you won't end up in the ICU. We have also learned that Quercetin and Zinc is a very powerful way to boost your immune system to viral infections.
4. There is a reason that using a vaccine is not only not going to work at putting an end to the pandemic but could actually cause new and deadlier variants. We know the virus mutates rapidly. We also know there are hundreds of millions of people worldwide who are infected with one variant or another and we know the vaccine does not give you immunity to the entire virus but only one piece of it. So a variant like Delta or Omicron and there is no protection. All you are doing with this vaccine is creating an environment where variants will be favored.
Also, your snarky remark about using bleach is simply a fool being a parrot for foolishness. HCQ is used as a bleach at a concentration of 10,000x greater than what you use as a therapeutic. Try taking 10,000 tylenol and see how long you last.
