so once you get the polio vaccine, you can still get Polio ? is it just a lesser version of the disease?
Polio Vaccine Effectiveness and Duration of Protection - CDC
wow, that sure sounds vastly different than the covid VACCINE. 90-100% for life is good, but 80% for 6 months, and then 40% for the next 6 months, with no expectation of it lasting a lifetime doesn't even sound like a vaccine, it sounds like a temporary treatment.

Yea.....about the integrity of those numbers......
Dying with coof isn't the same as dying from.
Also, 99+% survival rate for those under 65 surely has its merits.

hypothetically, if the vaccine is found to have long term negative effects where the person who is fully vaxxed, sheds viral loads of a new sickness, and thus needs to NOT be allowed to enter any restaurants, but instead must be served through the drive through window, or a back door, would you be angry that you were not allowed to participate in society, or would you just accept that you are now infectious and a detriment to the world in general?

Was the drive thru closed?
The vaccines don't have the full virus in them. How can people 'shed' viral loads if they don't have the virus to shed?
The truth is that anyone who is infected by the 'whole live virus', can transmit it to others and that people who are vaccinated against the virus, but catch it anyway, have less of the virus, and for a shorter time.
The greatest risk to others as sources of the virus are the unvaccinated who are infected.
How did Superman fly so far, so fast?
eta:
after you figure out what "fictional" means, perhaps you can explain how a fully vaccinated person would be in danger of an unvaccinated person, unless the vaccine doesn't work.
The vaccines don't make the virus cease to exist instantly.
All vaccine campaigns have taken time to attenuate or end the diseases they work against.
Even with those shortcomings, the do work far better than doing nothing to stop the spread of epidemic disease.
Please refresh me on what your alternative to vaccines, to stop the epidemic spread in your country, was?
this may shock you, but damnit, nobody asked me. But since you did, I'd say the vaccines do show some help in limiting the severity of the disease, and since it's almost exclusively the over 65 crowd who is in danger, I'd ask them to vaccinate for their protection, and be straight up with them, that we have no idea if any long term problems will occur, but we do know that right now, this will help save some lives. Then I'd let the rest know of their risks, and offer them the chance to take the vaccine.
But before I did any of that, I would have done some serious studies on natural immunity and found out how well the human body does at the job it's been tasked to do since Adam and Eve. natural immunity may well be the real way to end this worldwide.
Oh, and I think looking into other medicines to treat Covid would be super smart. So I'd look into that as well. I hear India did that. They seem to be alright now.
But I don't think I'd shoot rubber bullets at anyone who didn't like being forced to hide at home and loose their livelihood. Anyplace that would do that is #ed up.
As of 22 September 2021, 152,577 people in the USA, under the age of 65, have died of COVID-19.
It does affect the old worse than the young. So does every other disease.
COVID-19 is currently the fourth leading cause of death in the USA. So much for natural immunity.
3,960* fatal unintentional drownings, including boating-related drowning—that is an average of 11 drowning deaths per day.

I think what people are "unable to grasp" is how unvaccinated customers are dangerous to vaccinated customers. Either the vaccine works or it doesn't.
But but the vaccine protects you , that's why you take it? So if it doesn't fully protect you , why are you risking a vaccine that's still in clinical trials till 2023??

No, the COVID-19 vaccines are still vaccines.
Even with polio, there has to be three vaccinations to achieve full immunity.
And polio virus is different than a coronavirus.
Social media is calling bluff on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for modifying its definition of the words “vaccine” and “vaccination” on its website.
Before the change, the definition for “vaccination” read, “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.” Now, the word “immunity” has been switched to “protection.”
The term “vaccine” also got a makeover. The CDC’s definition changed from “a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease” to the current “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”

Several of the vaccines have had FDA approval now. They aren't under clinical trial anymore, and more than 6.1 billion doses have been administered worldwide. I think the excuse isn't valid anymore.

Poliomyelitis is an acute paralytic disease caused by three poliovirus (PV) serotypes. Less than 1% of PV infections result in acute flaccid paralysis. The disease was controlled using the formalin-inactivated Salk polio vaccine (IPV) and the Sabin oral polio vaccine (OPV). Global poliomyelitis eradication was proposed in 1988 by the World Health Organization to its member states. The strategic plan established the activities required for polio eradication, certification for regions, OPV cessation phase and post-OPV phase. OPV is the vaccine of choice for the poliomyelitis eradication program because it induces both a systemic and mucosal immune response. The major risks of OPV vaccination are the appearance of Vaccine-Associated Paralytic Poliomyelitis cases (VAPP) and the emergence of Vaccine Derived Polioviruses strains. The supplementary immunization with monovalent strains of OPV type 1 or type 3 or with a new bivalent oral polio vaccine bOPV (containing type 1 and type 3 PV) has been introduced in those regions where the virus has been difficult to control. Most countries have switched the schedule of vaccination by using IPV instead of OPV because it poses no risk of vaccine-related disease. Until 2008, poliomyelitis was controlled in Romania, an Eastern European country, predominantly using OPV. The alternative vaccination schedule (IPV/OPV) was implemented starting in September 2008, while beginning in 2009, the vaccination was IPV only. The risk of VAPP will disappear worldwide with the cessation of use of OPV. The immunization for polio must be maintained for at least 5 to 10 years using IPV.

Kew, in his editorial commentary [1], states that “the only source of immunity to poliovirus in all but a few parts of the world is immunization” (p. 1341). Before the World Health Organization (WHO) vaccination campaign, however, there was a very effective naturally acquired immunity to the virus, as has been noted by several authorities.

Yes, get vaccinated to protect the vaccinated because if you're not vaccinated you're a danger to the vaccinated.
Amazing logic.

Yes. If I'm vaccinated I don't have to worry about eating at a restaurant. Nor do I have to worry about creating threads as to how my rights are being taken away because I'm unable to grasp how a vaccine helps against a virus.
