The next pandemic is gonna be fucking sick.
With how chaotic trade has become, maybe there will be less resistance to border closures (international and national) and hopefully less initial spread?
It’s not even the next one. It’s the same one on repeat.

This is not correct.
As an example, have you had the smallpox vaccine? It is effective for about 10 years before the effectiveness reduces, so a top up is needed.
The anthrax vaccine? It needs 3 or 4 doses and regular top ups, and it only gives resistance.
The tetanus vaccine? It lasts about 10 years also.
Lots if vaccines have a time period where they grant primarily resistance. In the case of something like anthrax, the objective is to make it largely survivable.
I know you used a lot of your logic to arrive where tou are, so hopefully this additional information allows you to arrive at a better conclusion.

This is true. However, it does not change that your original statement was false.
In the US military, an anthrax vaccine was mandatory for a time upon deploying the Middle East. It is a very painful vaccine that makes anthrax survivable, but anthrax will still do a lot of damage regardless. I would say this is very similar to the results we see with the covid vaccine, though the covid vaccine is actually much more effective.
Notice I correctly use the word “vaccine” for both of these. A vaccine is simply a biological preparation that gives our immune system exposure to train against a real threat, without experiencing the adverse impacts of the real threat itself.
You may add qualifiers to the “vaccine” word, such as a “permanent, one-dose vaccine.” Now you’ve correctly established an appropriate context to properly communicate what you mean correctly
I have found in life it is better to remain silent when I have doubt, than to spread false information.
Here is a small tip: regardless of the controversy around AI, a helpful way to use it is to state something you think as fact, and double check with the AI. This provides you with a more objective medium without needing to experience public embarrassment or offending people.
Good luck!

If you’re no expert, why spew likely wrong information so confidently? While admitting you don’t know what you’re talking about, you still aren’t clearly admitting you were wrong. You are just pivoting and deflecting. Be honest and open to self reflection and you might become a better person.

And yet you are not self reflecting on your attempt to spread misinformation about vaccines. You were blatantly wrong and confidently spreading those lies. Is this because you are angry about something else? Do you agree that misinformation and lies are bad? You say you are intelligent, so let’s have it: why were you spreading wrong information? Don’t deflect, just try to address this issue. It’s actually important. If you really are good at self-reflection and are being honest, maybe we can use this interaction to help work out why misinformation is being pushed so much and how we might stop it.
I get vaccinated for the flu every year. The flu vaccine does not produce immunity to The flu but offers protection from it. The diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccines lasts about 10 years. These are facts
Tell us you don’t understand how diseases and the immune system work, without telling us you don’t understand how diseases and the immune system work.
I mean, Jesus, where to even begin…
