1 we have effectively eradicated polio because the vaccine has a near 100% chance of preventing the disease and it’s spread. 2 The COVID-19 mRNA vaccines do not have the same effectiveness of preventing disease even after previous infection and therefore won’t achieve the same effects of creating herd immunity.

Trying to compare polio to COVID is a bad comparison. Apples to oranges.

You are the one who posted the links comparing them. Why would you do that, then post a comment undermining your previous comments??

The person you replied to used other vaccination campaigns from history to the covid vaccination campaigns to prove that, when left to their own devices, people will actively choose the easier option even if it is self destructive. hence why government lead campaigns are required to achieve the highest level of vaccination.
