Just because you keep saying that statement doesn’t make it a fact. You blow the same smoke for almost 2 years and it’s still wrong. Polio, small pox, tetanus, measles, … would beg to differ. Covid Vax = everyone still gets covid. If you want to use the flu Vax as your basis then ok but the flu Vax is a guess of the future not a Vax to a current strain. Again you are either ignorant wrong or intentionally wrong. Either way you are wrong. The vid Vax is useless and has nothing to offer but risk. Hence why the vid was running around for 6+ months before it became an EMERGENCY.

Polio, small pox, etc., all have breakthrough infections, therefore by your definitions, they cannot be vaccines.
BTW, the flu vaccines are based upon which current strain they believe will be prevalent. Even though the flu vaccines are often only more or less effective, you still call them a vaccine, don’t you?
Flu vaccines are also a crap shoot.
They are only effective for some people and even then they have to had guessed the correct strain of the flu making the rounds in a particular year, and I remember many years when they didn’t.
Ooopsss....
It seems to me that the best thing to do for older folks would be get the pneumonia vaccines, as that is the main complication of the flu. I did a risk assessment years ago and decided that with my allergies, that the pneumonia vaccine was less risky than if I needed to take a week or more course of antibiotics with the potential of becoming allergic to them.
