Find me a single historical pandemic that was finished through compulsory vaccination, lockdowns or quarantines. You might find epidemics where they were handled in a country this way, but I've never heard of a pandemic in the history of the world resolved this way.
The only pandemics I've ever heard of being resolved were through reservoir burnout, border closures or a disease becoming endemic as it appears this disease has.
- sterlind 5y agowouldn't smallpox qualify? that was a pandemic until it became epidemics because of vaccination and quarantine, then was eradicated.
- betwixthewires 5y agoMandatory vaccination and quarantine?
- rualca 5y agoSmallpox vaccination is mandatory at least in a few European countries I lived in. In fact, national vaccination programs mandate vaccines for about a dozen diseases starting right from birth. These national vaccination programs are also pretty clear in stating that the goal of these vaccines is to either make people immune or mitigate the impact of an infection.
