But, it’s not.

He does not understand what a Vaccine is, apparently.

This is a vaccine. I’m not sure what he means by ‘space age flu shot’, unless he is also saying he doesn’t believe the flu shot each year is a vaccine.

A vaccine offers protection against the specific virus it is built for, for a time period dependent on how that virus interacts.

A virus that has a lot of mutations will eventually provide a form that isn’t well-targeted by a specific vaccine; then we tweak the vaccine, like we do the flu each year, as the various flu strains become predominant.

Some diseases really don’t mutate, so their vaccines work for a long time. Others mutate slowly. Things like cold viruses mutate quickly — it’s why we don’t create cold vaccines, because the cold rarely causes much trouble, and we’d need a half-dozen vaccines a year to cover all the currently active colds.

He also overstated the side effects of the vaccines we are currently using, which might in itself have gotten him in trouble.

Great, you must be a smart chap! What do you call a vaccine the destroys a body’s neutralizing antibodies? And then each successive shot reduces them by 5X, with older patients left virtually bereft of neutralizing antibodies?

RE: A vaccine offers protection against the specific virus it is built for, for a time period dependent on how that virus interacts.

I had the polio and the small pox vaccine. Also had the Hepatitis B vaccine. Never had to be revaccinated. I was never told that the Polio or small pox vaccines have a time period that expires.

So, this Coronavirus vaccine, is not the kind of vaccine that I understand it to be traditionally. we need a different term for it — a temporary prophylaxis if you will.

Tell us, so that we might understand, what do you call a scientific community that alters the definition of a vaccine to fit with the newest developed treatment?

I do not recall the annual flu shot ever being called a flu “vaccine” until we were talking about COVID-19 vaccines.Miriam Webster’s online dictionary added an additional definition to include the mRNA shot for COVID-19

Everything You Need To Know About Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 Vaccine

If I can, I’ll probably try to get the 1st Pfizer shot, because it has been tested and confirmed to block the infection itself, and to prevent transmission.

The J&J sets you up to handle the virus better, so you can still get it, and still transmit it to others.

So, assuming my insurance covers both, I’ll eventually do both. By July, we will be swimming in more vaccine doses than we know what to do with. We’ll have 210 million people-doses of the 3 vaccines, at current production speeds, by June 30th, and there are only 230 million people over age 16.

This will likely be my first version of vaccine to take, because it should end up being widely available (100 million doses by June 30th, with the increase in Pfizer and Moderna supplies, and the possible “one-dosing” of Pfizer, will provide more vaccines by the end of june than we have people over the age of 16 to take it, and some won’t.

I’ll probably circle back and get the Pfizer vaccine when it no longer has a waitlist, probably when it is one-shot. This J&J will protect me from getting sick enough to require hospitalization, and Pfizer will prevent me from catching and spreading COVID at all.

Who can ?

I personally think you should consider going back to school.

Your statements are not factual. And no, I will not debate what is or isn’t a vaccine...

“vaccine...vac·cine (vak’sēn, vak-sēn’), Although this word is correctly stressed on the first syllable, in U.S. usage it is often stressed on the second syllable.
Originally, the live vaccine (vaccinia, cowpox) virus inoculated in the skin as prophylaxis against smallpox and obtained from the skin of calves inoculated with seed virus. Usage has extended the meaning to include essentially any preparation intended for active immunologic prophylaxis; for example, preparations of killed microbes of virulent strains or living microbes of attenuated (variant or mutant) strains; or microbial, fungal, plant, protozoal, or metazoan derivatives or products. Method of administration varies according to the vaccine, inoculation being the most common, but ingestion is preferred in some instances and nasal spray is used occasionally.
Synonym(s): vaccinum
[L. vaccinus, relating to a cow]
Farlex Partner Medical Dictionary © Farlex 2012

or

a. A preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen, such as a bacterium or virus, or of a portion of the pathogen’s structure that upon administration to an individual stimulates antibody production or cellular immunity against the pathogen but is incapable of causing severe infection.
b. A preparation from the cowpox virus that protects against smallpox when administered to an individual.

or

vac·cine (vak-sēn’)
Any preparation intended for active immunologic prophylaxis, e.g., preparations of killed microbes of virulent strains or living microbes of attenuated (variant or mutant) strains, or microbial, fungal, plant, protozoal, or metazoan derivatives or product.
[L. vaccinus, relating to a cow, vacca]

By any and all criteria available at this time, the Corona vaccine fails.
