- HWR_14 5y agoNo, when you were a youth enough people were vaccinated that the RE dropped to almost nothing, meaning there were no breakouts. They never gave 100% immunity. They were also more numerically effective at keeping people from turning into a carrier, but they had the benefits of decades of tuning.
- pandaman 5y agoIf vaccines never gave immunity how come people who had the natural immunity from having the disease naturally were not required to be vaccinated? Actually even in my older years all I had to present as a proof of vaccination to the US government was my blood with antibodies.
- HWR_14 5y agoYour blood with antibodies also doesn't supply 100% immunity.
- pandaman 5y agoI am not sure where did you get the 100% thing but for the record I am not claiming that. What I am noticing is that it used to be an objective criterion for the inoculation, seemingly based on the concept of immunity.
- HWR_14 5y agoI got the "100% thing" when I said it in the first post, and you started responding "if vaccines don't give immunity", yada yada. In response to me saying tehy don't give 100% immunity.
- pandaman 5y agoYou responded to my assertion that vaccines used to give immunity with "no" so I thought you are arguing that, sorry for misunderstanding.
