What's Worse?

30% ????? Did you mean in the early 1800s?

"During the 1970s, one vaccine was eliminated. Because of successful eradication efforts, the smallpox vaccine was no longer recommended for use after 1972. While vaccine research continued, new vaccines were not introduced during the 1970s."

It seems like there was a safety standard back then. Maybe I've missed your research on smallpox. Please enlighten me.

Here is research from NIH:

"ADVERSE EFFECTS OF VACCINATION
Frequency and Clinical Features
Smallpox vaccine is less safe than other vaccines routinely used today. The vaccine is associated with known adverse effects that range from mild to severe. Mild vaccine reactions include formation of satellite lesions, fever, muscle aches, regional lymphadenopathy, fatigue, headache, nausea, rashes, and soreness at the vaccination site. A recent clinical trial reported that more than one-third of vaccine recipients missed days of work or school because of these mild vaccine-related symptoms."

Here is a nice graph demonstrating no more smallpox.

Yes, smallpox was eradicated due to vaccination. Saving countless lives. We no longer routinely vaccinate for smallpox because it’s not circulating anymore. We do have a stockpile of smallpox vaccine in case it were to make a resurgence or be used as a bioweapon. If you were to ever be exposed to smallpox you are at much greater risk from the disease than you would be from the vaccine. I’m not sure what your point is. Unpleasant adverse reactions are worse than death from smallpox?

Does anyone know where to find a list of the safest vaccines?

With so many, all with approvals of "safe" that means safety studies were done in advance AND ongoing safety is being monitored, ther surely must be a ranking of which ones are safer or better tolerated and which ones are lesser.

Doctors who prescribe these things should all have this information for dissemination to patients/guardians for their informed consent.

COVID v12 is the only safe one. That’s what I was told.

No coincidence that JMM's list has a ton of substances that change our brain chemistry and reduce intellectual functioning. Marijuana and alcohol share that side-effect. No doubt a relatively significant number of people use marijuana for useful functioning improvement, specifically to reduce nausea or pain, but the vast majority of those using THC products are not doing so for legitimate medical reasons - they are doing so to get high.

For the vast majority of users, alcohol, marijuana, other drugs are simply escape mechanisms to avoid doing something more difficult to address the underlying problem. Having difficulty getting along with spouse? Have a few drinks, or fire up a couple bowls. Financial pressures making it more difficult to sleep? Stop at the bar, or have some chewables.

Those quick fixes are vastly easier than working on improving the relationship, or taking serious steps to improve one's financial plight. And like all quick fixes, they don't work.

Our society is now the quick-fix culture. We see it with schemes and scams to make a quick buck, and diet pills or shots to lose weight, or alcohol to try and reduce life difficulties, or pot to ease the pain of everyday life. All variations of the same basic theme of putting a band-aid on a serious wound rather than actually treating the injury.

Want to get out of debt? Stop buying ****. Want to lose weight? Exercise more and get a better diet. Want to manage stress at work? Exercise, get into work earlier and get a handle on the projects that are causing the worries. Those are not easy but they actually work.
