They still quarantine someone who has contracted small pox because anyone else can still catch it even if vaccinated.

Smallpox has been eradicated since 1980.

How many cases of smallpox do we have in North America?

Probably none

Do you know why?

Because enough people got vaccinated that it couldn't find a nice home to spread to and it stopped jumping from person to person.

Would you say that vaccine was effective?

Can we all just let the fraidy cats live in fear and present their papers to get a Panera breadbowl while the rest of us go to sporting events and cough on the people in the seats next to us after we yell after the sportsball team succeeds in their goal?

Smallpox has been eradicated since 1980.

That's correct.

But what do they do with someone who has contracted small pox?

You should read up on how we eradicate a virus.

Would you say that vaccine was effective?

We aren't done yet.

But it is doing its job

so… what’s your point? SARS was eradicated too but that didn’t have a vaccine.

 

[TigerBait1971]

But what do they do with someone who has contracted small pox?

Has not occurred since 1980 due to the effective vaccine

He doesn't know what eradication means

Didn't he say he has a BS in biology?

Covid has animal carriers. It will never be eradicated.

(Whispering)…. no vaccine does that….

Uh, you don’t believe the MMR vaccination prevents the contraction and spread of measles, mumps and that other one, via immunity?

 

[TigerBait1971]

Hahahaha

Fucking awesome movie.

 

[dbldwn711]

SARS is not eradicated.

true. I misused “eradicated”. I meant spread was stopped without a vaccine.

some vaccines are more effective than others. Nonetheless, they are all vaccines.

You sure this is the hill you wanna die on? You really think everyone calling it a vaccine are wrong and you are right?
