I mean, do you think vaccines are absolute prevention?
Well it was for polio and small pox was it not?

Vaccines are part of an overall strategy for eradication.
Where did you come up with that from? If you're referring to social distancing and wearing masks then I just have to

No. They were part of an eradication strategy.

Absolutely not for smallpox. The injury rate for the vaccine was extremely high, and because of the transmission route of smallpox, it was mostly controlled in developed countries. Even still, you saw vaccine mandates in America from employers in the early part of the 1900's, especially after outbreaks. You should read the book Smallpox: A History, especially the chapter 'Vaccination is Un-American,' as it gives a very good account of the history of the disease in the modern era.
