#2 I dunno. We kicked smallpox in its microbial groin. And polio would be pretty much gone if it weren't for some Islamic countries where it manages to hang on.

#6 There is still a lot of doubt as to whether the current vaccines are effective against c19.
A person can still contract c19 and become ill, maybe die. The vaccines require a booster after six months, and maybe more boosters, and you can still become ill. There are questions about the safety and side effects of the vaccines. There is no long term data on the c19 vaccines.

#7 Polio is still here. They simply call it other names. Fellows grandson is currently paralyzed from the neck down. He said they call it AMS or Guillain-Barre now. You don't know what to believe anymore. Fellows wife left him of 30 years. Despondent he shoots himself dead. DX Covid. Wife collected over $200,000 in life insurance with that DX. Big win for that DX also for medical system, $38,000 now?. Well a lot anyway.

#8 Depending on your genetic, the vaccine sets the stage for ADE, exactly as intended.

#9 Fellows grandson is currently paralyzed from the neck down. He said they call it AMS or Guillain-Barre now.

Without infection by the the polio virus, Dale, the result, though it may look the same, is not polio.
