Sure, your perception of the world is real.You will never be able to preach to me about history. First off, inoculation is not a vaccine. It is actually injecting a live version of the virus into a person. Usually taken directly from one of the sores of the infected. It is a whole different ballgame and the mortality rate of undergoing the procedure was over one percent, but perhaps less than two. Last I checked, I am pretty sure it is far less than one out of hundred dying from the Covid vaccine. I think it might be like one in a million.
Now by the Revolutionary War the practice of inoculation for Smallpox had been practiced for about 50 years, although there is some possibility that it was tried earlier, although rather rare. Would you be willing to accept a mandate for inoculation after 50 years of use, if the mortality rate was over one out of 100? Washington had no problem with it.
Surely that Impolitic Act, restraining Inoculation in Virginia,4 can never be continued—If I was a Member of that Assembly I would rather move for a Law to compell the Masters of Families to inoculate every Child born within a certain limitted time under severe Penalties.

See, that is the thing about history. You yahoos can spout and spit all you want. The above are George Washington's own words. Sorry that he was not a perfect speller. And here is the thing, there is no record whatsoever of a single soldier refusing to be inoculated. Back then, we had real patriots. Not these pretend patriots that are so vocal today. And soldier that refuses to be vaccinated for Covid should be given an immediate dishonorable discharge, Washington would have probably had them hanged
Polio, there were limited studies in the 1930's, and for the vaccine used at the time, the mortality rate was about equal to that of Smallpox inoculation. The first extensive studies of the vaccine being used for the mandate began in 1955, the mandate happened in 1957, two years later. Do you really believe that today's research capabilities are equivalent to those in the 1950's?
Folks are just dropping dead in the streets of COVID.
Just today, I braved the dead bodies in the streets, as a went out for supplies . . . . .
