> None of those diseases have high kill rates.
Hep A - 0.3% for adults ages 15 to 39, and 2.1% for adults ages 40 and old [1]
Hep B - 14% [2]
Influenza - 0.2% (calculated from stats on wikipedia)
Tetanus - <15% with treatment, >25% without treatment [3]
Covid - 1.4% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 have a fatal outcome, while 98.6% recover [4]
So no, most of those diseases have much higher kill rate than covid. Also, those vaccines have been proven over decades. Covid vaccines have barely been studied for a year.
