I have zero interest in taking the COVID "vaccines", but I'd take the smallpox vaccine in a heartbeat if it was coming back.

They're not remotely the same thing. The former drops to less than 50% effectiveness after six months, the latter eradicated the disease.

"They're not remotely the same thing. The former drops to less than 50% effectiveness after six months, the latter eradicated the disease."

Would you only take the first Smallpox vaccine, or would you get the booster every 3 years?

Adverse reactions (including myocarditis): https://www.cdc.gov/smallpox/vaccine-basics/vaccination-effe...

It also eradicated small pox since the vaccine was mandated.

So you'd rather have no effectiveness by not getting the vaccine at all?

Given the risk of myocarditis and other things against the low risk of my demographic with COVID, I'd rather not take the drug with no long term studies.

Regarding myocarditis from the Moderna vaccine: "For instance, Israel reported <150 cases among five million vaccine recipients; the US military reported 23 among 2.8 million doses. In both cases, young adult males were affected for the most part."

So that's a 0.003% and 0.0008% rate, respectively. And you have a 0.15% chance of getting myocarditis from COVID-19 itself.

If it's safe, why were the industrial drug dealers given legal immunity before it even started?

If it's effective, why do we need boosters?

It's a convenient money grab for industrial drug dealers, and their pet politicians get a power grab.

The smallpox vaccine didn't need a booster after six months. Because it's a vaccine.

The COVID preparations do, because they're not vaccines. They're treatments. That are risky, and weakly effective.

They're only called "vaccines" because the Ministry of Truth has been very busy this year rewriting the definition of "vaccine".

Why do you trust these numbers? There are (in all logical likelihood) far more instances of myocarditis than are reported, as well as far more instances of covid than reported. This immediately makes the death rate of covid go down and the rate of myocarditis go up by some unknown factor that nobody can possibly know. A fit, healthy young male has no reason to be vaccinated in such a situation.

As another poster as shown, the risk of myocarditis is incredibly low. Certainly much lower than the risks of contracting COVID without the vaccine. And where are the long term studies of the effects of COVID? I'll take my chances with the vaccine.
