I'm not going to look up all of those but this is what I found on the smallpox specific wiki page:

Smallpox - Wikipedia

According to that the fatality rate is 26% for vaccinated and 62% for un-vaccinated.

ah, my mistake. The link I provided has two listings for Smallpox: Variola Major and Variola Minor. It was the milder version, Variola Minor, that had a 1% fatality rate.

So do you think it would be correct to mandate a specific diet and exercise plan for the citizens of a nation?

Senator Ron Johnson held a press conference on the injuries sustained by many people after they got the Covid shots. I am posting this for anyone who is interested in hearing the accounts of those injuries from the very people who have experienced them. It is not easy to listen to, but very informative.
This video is over an hour long, but if you want to skip directly to the testimonies from the people, it starts at exactly 13:00 minutes.
I don't expect Youtube will allow this video to remain on their site for very long, so either watch it right away, or save it to watch later.

The vaccine should be optional. More research needs to be done into possible negative effects. Don’t just lie to people and claim “it’s safe!” as a universal blanket statement. For most people, yes, but for all people, no.

Think pharmaceutical advertisements. They list possible side effects and warn about risks. They never promise anything, and never claim their medication is “safe”. They are careful, and state things as possibilities.

As for Hep-A, since my doctor keeps trying to get me to take that one, I'm in a committed relationship and am not caring for any family members who may have it. I don't fear the risk of getting it in the first place thus refuse the vaccine. Similar to my feelings about the Covid vaccine.

So a virus you mostly catch (in the western world) from raw shellfish you are safe from because you are in a committed relationship? I don't...did you mean HepB or C? Also, could you share why your doctor wants you to get a hepX vac?

Maybe it's B, I'm unsure. My doctor has recommended it each time I've gone for my...lady visit...so I figured it was just standard for them to recommend it. Similar to my primary doctor recommending the flu shot (which I also decline).

Personally, I know two people who were hospitalized after vaccinations for symptoms.

I imagine the number must be in the tens of thousands at least.

...there have been roughly 2 million Covid hospitalizations.

Tens of thousands (even if it's 99,999) still isn't even in the same ballpark.

But, as a point of reference
Here’s how experts know the COVID-19 vaccines are safe

You really really do not want any variety of Hepatitis. Really. But what do I know. I only worked with liver transplant candidates for a year. Don’t listen to me.

As Christians we are not to look out for number one but all anti vaxxers "Christians" do just that love number one even above all else.

From the way you're looking at it it might be understandable why you might feel that way.

Your assessment though is pretty limited not considering other ways people might be thinking of it. Some might think they're actually playing a part of saving humanity a lot of pain, sorry and grief by being a part of a resistance . You must know there's a lot who think maybe 6 month to a year....or over two years many people's lives will start physically falling a part because of taking a vaccine. Whether that's true or not is not the point.

But what you're talking about here is motives for not taking a vaccine that they're putting themselves FIRST over all society in general or they're being selfish. I don't think so. In their minds it might be they think by resisting and staying that way even though many have might become vaccinated....some might wake up (or so they think they need to do) and not take a second shot maybe even saving their lives. Again I'm not saying they're right but if that's actually what they think your argument is weak they're doing what they're doing for selfish reasons. They actually might consider in their own way they're being a part of saving mankind not hurting it. Are they wrong? Perhaps. In ignorance? Maybe yes. But I think one can question your position such Christians are being self-centered.

Interesting. Both A and B are part of the recommended immunizations for children, but I have not before heard of it being recommended for adults that missed that window.

Similar to my primary doctor recommending the flu shot (which I also decline).

I'll never understand some people. Why would anyone not get the flu vac? I had my flu shot in between my 2 covid shots.

I don't get it because I never get sick. I've only ever gotten really sick once in my life and it was shortly after my first (and only) flu shot. That experience is what drives my decisions.

No. You not getting a vaccine can cause someone else to die and with the deadly variants coming out many of you anti vaxxers will die.

Unequivocally it is. If a person is really truly a Christian then they should be first in line for the vaccine. It goes to show that most Americans are pretend Christians and don't really care for anyone but themselves. Right now there are not enough real Christians in America to fill a small city.

It's the critical thinking skills which are in especially short supply.

Exactly, people are getting more senseless all the time. I do blame the internet but than again I think even without such people would be weak-minded

The difference is those are accidents you didn’t choose. The risks of the vaccine are chosen, until your government insists you take the risk. That is worse.

I'd rather choose not to get the virus that has killed 600,000 Americans and caused permanent damage to who-knows-how-many others.

About 10 years ago, I got a variation of hepatitis as a side effect of having mono. My abdomen swelled and hurt a lot; and the doctor said taking tylenol for the pain could kill me. Good times.

A very small, minute number get recalled. A few more get black box warnings. Many get updated side effects listed. If you look at the inserts on any Rx medication, it lists nearly any conceivable body function that might be affected. A vaccine with no risk would called Placebo #3 or Saline.

I respectfully submit you are woefully uninformed.

A saline injection could still make your arm sore. If it is put into your body (including breathing and water) it comes with risks of side effects.
