you still have not taken that walk...
immune response is like curing like
So if I have the flu a flue vaccine will cure it then?
long walk cliff...
vac·cine
vakˈsēn/Submit
nounMEDICINE
a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease
that is prevention in the case of the flu
it is all dependent on building up an immune response
again in the case of the flu vaccine it does not work with mutated virus
you are trying to equate two different forms of treatment here
one being triggering an immune response and building up a tolerance and the other being to poisen the system with a different type of poison
best example being if you stub your toe and go to a doctor and he chops off your other toe. problem solved
those are two different types of like curing like

Like cures like?
Next time I burn my hand on the stove I’ll just shove my arm in the oven. Should work great.

It is true that rabies cures behavior problems in people about 100% of the time. It is also about 100% fatal too.
It's only 100% fatal if you have a lot of it, if you only have a smaller amount it's like a weak 100% chance.

I hear it's fatal 100% of the time 60% of the time.

Just because you say it's homeopathy doesn't make it so,
