Doing some fact-establishing today.
The mainstream media is driving me BONKERS with their STEM-stupidity....and no one who works in biosafety, biodefense, health security, or public health seems to be able to set them straight. So, here goes nothing:
1. "Vaccine" is another name for "artificially-acquired immunity." This means that vaccines mimic the germ-recognition and germ-attacking functions of our natural immune systems.
2. People (and even animals) can build immunity to a germ either naturally or artificially. Some germs are so lethal to humans that we can't physically build natural immunity before the germ severely sickens or even kills us - even if our bodies are super-healthy and we have strong immune systems! Vaccines were invented to address this. The very first vaccines were made by simply killing a single germ by desiccating it (taking away its water and oxygen supply so it could not replicate/reproduce) and injecting it into people's bodies, to stimulate the immune system into action, thus artificially building immunity.
3. Sometimes vaccines can sicken and kill people, too. A very famous example of this is a tainted batch of a vaccine against poliovirus that accidentally contained active (not dead) viruses, which sickened many in the 1950's before it was recalled. Early vaccines included dead viruses that came from eggs, leading to a variety of allergic reactions. There are also concerns with more modern-day vaccines that have no natural products in them whatsoever, and can possibly cause other types of side effects or sickness, which has led some people to avoid them altogether.
4. Lately, there is also a concern that the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine can accidentally attack the surface proteins on GOOD coronaviruses and make healthy people sick, because of the way that the vaccine was designed to mimic SOME people's immune systems, but not EVERYONE's immune systems. This makes it more of a biotherapy than a vaccine. This issue has not yet been resolved, our politicians are avoiding it, and many people are angry that the vaccine has not been recalled by the pharmaceutical companies, or at least put a big warning label on it.
5. Vaccines can only provide INDIVIDUAL immunity - that is, they ONLY benefit the person who has received the vaccine. Vaccines do NOT provide "herd immunity" - that is, they do not help anyone else other than the recipient to avoid becoming sick or dying after being exposed to a new germ. For example, imagine that a person who does NOT have either naturally-acquired or artificially-acquired immunity to poliovirus is surrounded by 1,000,000 people who ARE vaccinated against poliovirus, and who DO have artificially-acquired immunity. If that ONE individual ingests, inhales, or injects even ONE poliovirus that then gets into their nervous system, they can still potentially become very, very sick.
6. Many medical doctors and germ researchers talk about "eradicating disease" to reduce rates of human sickness and death - but in reality, the germs themselves often still exist, and sometimes all around us and in nature. For example, poliovirus can be found in human f***s. Anthrax bacteria can be found in soil. So anywhere that we can inhale, ingest, inject, or come into contact with these germs can theoretically cause allergies, sickness, and death - UNLESS they have already built-up an immunity to them, either artificially (via vaccine) or naturally (being exposed and surviving). And if someone who is immune coughs onto someone who ISN'T immune, the germ can get spread around.
6. Herd immunity can ONLY occur when the people and environment around an individual reduces the odds of germ exposure to nearly zero. That is, the likelihood that I will ingest, inject, inhale, or come into contact with a germ is also nearly zero.
7. To build "herd immunity" to germs like polio, TB, or even basic cold and flu viruses that are easily transmitted (or spread) via the air, this historically meant that children, teachers, and visitors were reasonably healthy when they got together at school or at work, and there was not very much coughing and sneezing on each other - although with children, that is a pretty unrealistic goal. Visibly sick and actively coughing and sneezing kids AND adults were all encouraged to stay at home. Some states even made it a law.
8. Some other "non-vaccine" strategies to reduce germ exposure and germ-based illnesses included: Bathrooms were kept clean, and toilet and sink plumbing worked well, to keep p**p in the air and on our skin to a minimum. There were water fountains and good air ventilation. People could attend school remotely, and children were discouraged from licking the floor or the toilets, where most germs survive and thrive, especially deadly ones. And so forth.
9. To reiterate, vaccines do NOT build herd immunity. Germs are STILL in our environment and can STILL make people sick, if they are not already immune to them. The key to herd immunity is to reduce the odds of airborne germ exposure. Good sanitation, personal hygiene, hydration, and ventilation reduce the odds of airborne germ exposure!
10. So, to the media, HHS, CDC, NIH, and whomever else is spreading dangerous misinformation, please STOP saying that vaccines "build herd immunity" or "prevent germ transmission" to justify vaccines - or ANY type of medical drug or biotherapy - as being required for public health reasons. Vaccines do NOT do any of this, and you are INCORRECT to say so. Vaccines can ONLY help individual people to stay healthy if they are exposed to a specific germ - and especially some very deadly germs. That is ALL that they can do.
