” Would you rather get immunity to smallpox or polio from getting one of these diseases or from a vaccine?”
Same thing. Immunity? They’re already talking boosters

Would you rather get immunity to smallpox or polio from getting one of these diseases or from a vaccine?”

Same thing.

Smallpox vaccine does not contain smallpox virus.
Polio vaccine contains an inactive or weakened form of polio virus.
Obviously neither of these vaccinations is the same as getting a disease that can kill you or leave you with permanent scarring or paralysis.

They’re already talking boosters

Better to have immunity that lasts a few years and stops the spread through the population than none at all. Smallpox has been eliminated worldwide and polio has been eliminated in much of the world because of vaccines.
