@imlafnatu Between 2019, and 2021 the U.S. population shrank by an additional 1 million lives; the average death rate rose by over 1 million U.S. citizens. None of whom died from a vaccine; all of whom died from the virus which the vaccine could have prevented. Most of those 1 million people, had pumped themselves full of an anti-malaria drug, or had taken horse deworming medication, believing them to be better alternatives to a vaccine which they feared more than the virus that killed them. Now I have a strong opinion based upon these facts, but I'm not going to throw my opinion into the face of everyone who reads the comments on this page; but I am going to make sure the facts are here for those who may want to contrast your opinion against these facts. Vaccines save lives, they have been saving human lives, preventing pandemics, and advancing our global understanding of human health and the factors that mitigate the negative of that health since 1796, when Dr. Edward Jenner produced a medication to prevent smallpox. He did so buy infecting patients with a similar but non-lethal cousin of the virus, named "cowpox"; the term ‘vaccine' which was given to this new breakthrough in medical treatment the Latin word for cow, "vacca". Since then (1796) vaccines have saved the lives of hundreds of millions of children, and prevented even more from deformities and side effects; such as those from polio. It is estimated that well over a billion human lives have been saved, or significantly improved thanks to vaccines, most of them children; yes, even yours.
