Not with the covid ones.
There is a reason why vaccine makers and bought-off politicians are racing to vaccinate 100 million Americans by July 4th. If prior population studies are any indication, by July 2021 it is likely a safer and more effective vaccine than RNA vaccines (Pfizer/Moderna) will be revealed in a large-group placebo vs inoculum study taking place in Canada.
BCG vaccine mechanism: trained immunity
The BCG vaccine is not widely used in the US.
While the BCG vaccine does activate T-cells, it also works independent of B or T cells. BCG vaccine affords “trained immunity.” It works via epigenetic re-programming, that is, gene protein making, which essentially what the RNA vaccines pretend to do. This is called epigenetic memory.
BCG vaccine is so safe it is approved for use with neonates, children and adults for almost 100 years.

Well according to VAERS 1657 deaths from all the COVID vaccines
Really? Deaths from the vaccines? It doesn't seem that VAERS makes such determinations.
VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences to CDC and FDA. VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine. This way, VAERS can provide CDC and FDA with valuable information that additional work and evaluation is necessary to further assess a possible safety concern.

On the contrary, with all the vaccinations (more than 100 million) which have been administered that number of deaths would not seem to have any significance as far as cause and effect goes. Sometimes the phone rings just as I'm stepping into the shower. I don't think my shower makes the phone ring. Do you?

There have now been hundreds of millions of shots given with only a few people having issues. I think the jury is in on this one.

Well according to VAERS 1657 deaths from all the COVID vaccines, admittedly not a lot, however in comparison to all the flu vaccines and all the time we have been giving flu vaccines. According to VAERS data from the CDC the flu vaccine deaths after getting the flu vaccine(s) are 575. That's 3 times as many deaths in as little as 2-3 months of COVID vaccines vs years and years and dozens of Flu vaccines. That is a whole different perspective.
All adverse events for all flu vaccines 171,745 for years of use. All adverse events for COVID vaccines in 2-3 months 44,464
All I am saying is be informed.
.
That’s always good advice—to be informed.
Speaking of which, where did you get your information?
This is what the CDC website says:
“Over 145 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through March 29, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 2,509 reports of death (0.0017%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. CDC and FDA physicians review each case report of death as soon as notified and CDC requests medical records to further assess reports. A review of available clinical information including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records revealed no evidence that vaccination contributed to patient deaths.”

There are different polio vaccines. I had the oral variety when I was a kid but that one isn't used in the US anymore. There are different measles vaccines as well.
There aren't multiple different types of a Polio vaccine, or Measles vaccine or any other vaccine I'm aware of.
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are not really dramatically different in that they both utilize the same method of inducing an immune response, the use of messenger RNA. The J&J vaccine does use a different method to produce that response. Eventually it will be found which is the most practical and efficacious vaccine to use but for now getting people vaccinated is a higher priority.
So how can there be three dramatically different vaccines for covid?
Incorrect. Its primary purpose is to reduce the severity of symptoms, not to erradicate the pathogen. Few, if any, vaccines totally prevent infection. Clinical trials have demonstrated that the COVID vaccines are quite effective in reducing the severity of infection. Furthermore, since the vaccines are being administered to the public, and more data becomes available, evidence is accumulating that they also reduces the transmission of the disease. This is something that clinical trials are not designed to determine but is the case with most vaccines and it was expected (hoped) that the COVID vaccines would also demonstrate this effect.
Basically nothing as I see it. We've got a 'vaccine which, in theory, erradicates this specific covid -19 pathogen,
The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are 94% successful.....AT WHAT?
