The article I’ve attached at the bottom of this email talks about the vaccine effective rate for other diseases. For your show this week, I’m going to put together a chart of traditional childhood vaccines and their effective rate.

You can also cover what those diseases were like for people, some of their more horrifying symptoms, basically reminding people that vaccines do work and why it’s important everyone who can get one, takes it.

Perhaps what’s so ‘shocking’ for people about Covid, is that it’s been a little while since we’ve had such a widespread crippling disease — last one being polio (?) So people have forgotten what human diseases can do to us. When the polio vaccine came out, people lined up for a long time to get the vaccine. They had seen what polio does to their friends and family — even the President had it — so people knew the vaccine was important.

Vaccine’s success story on the course of human diseases has also been its curse, because some people have lost why they’re so important, they’re taking our vaccine world for granted…

And vaccines are definitely not something to take for granted…

What I don’t quite understand how, different vaccines work differently in the human body, that’s why the Pneumoccal vaccine is a measure of someone’s immune system, and a big part of the mystery of our case, why we’ve needed so many Pneumoccal shots. There’s something about that vaccine that involves the t-cells, I don’t know know, I’ve ever understood it when people have tried to explain it to me.

Either way, vaccines are important and they work and we don’t entirely understand the immune system, and they still work…
