The epidemics continued for more than 100 years despite the vaccination!* The vaccination was introduced more than 200 years ago in England. The figures are from Sweden because they were one of the few countries that early on kept relatively good statistics. In typical smallpox epidemics, 10-20% of the infected people died. In populations that had not been selected for resistance by frequent epidemic waves, the death rates could rise up to 70%. So why would anybody get vaccinated? With the last smallpox-infected human dying or recovering, the virus would go extinct, and humankind managed to eradicate smallpox this fashion. We got close to the same goal with polio but did not reach it (yet). Despite the differences between polio, smallpox, and SARS-CoV2, the graph seem to indicate that we are in for the long haul.*Note added for those living in an alternative reality: These sentences contain irony!</p>https://jeltsch.org/en/booster/Fri, 14 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://jeltsch.org/en/booster/<p>Hooray, I am finally boostered! I did not mind what I would get, but ended up for the 3rd time getting the BioNTech/Pfizer mRNA vaccine.UPDATE (23.01.2022):I received some feedback concerning this 2-sentence blog post. I never really think much about the vaccination anymore. To me, the situation appears very clear from a science-based medical perspective. Below, I will keep adding answers to some questions and statements.</p>
