You need to do additional research instead of relying upon the anti-vaccine scare-mongers for your information:

AI Overview

Yes, the definition of “vaccine” was updated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in September 2021 to be more accurate and transparent, replacing the word “immunity” with “protection” or “immune response”.

Summary of Changes
The CDC altered the definitions of “vaccine” and “vaccination” on its website to reflect that no vaccine is 100% effective at preventing disease, which was a potential mis interpretation of the previous language.
The changes to the definitions of “vaccine” and “vaccination” on the CDC website involved replacing “immunity to” with “immune response against” and “protection against,” respectively.

Rationale and Context
The CDC stated that the updates aimed for greater transparency, acknowledging that no vaccine is 100% effective. Experts have indicated that the revised definitions reflect scientific advancements, including those related to mRNA vaccines. Merriam-Webster also made a similar change to its definition of “vaccine” for scientific accuracy. Other terminology changes by government health agencies have included shifting from “fully vaccinated” to “up to date” to incorporate booster doses. Vaccines continue to be a vital public health tool, preventing numerous infections, hospitalizations, and deaths.
End quote.

IOW, there was no nefarious intent in the definition change.

Instead of calling names, your time would be better spent doing additional research instead of relying upon the anti-vaccine scare-mongers for your information:

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has modified its definition of gene therapy over the years to adapt to technological advancements.

1993: The initial definition was broad, encompassing treatments aimed at modifying or manipulating genetic material or altering cell properties.

2018: The definition was refined to focus on products that work by the transcription or translation of transferred genetic material or by specifically altering human genetic sequences.

2020–2024: The FDA issued guidance to clarify how the 2018 definition applies to new technologies like genome editing.

Nothing there that supports your allegations. If you would do some more research you would learn that the mRNA COVID vaccine cannot alter your genes since it does not enter the cell nucleus where your DNA resides.

You need to do additional research...

No, you need to admit that what I said was exactly accurate.

Instead, you post disinformational propaganda designed to censor and suppress any unbiased investigation of highly unusual actions, instead of supporting an unbiased inquiry.

That's Nazi ethical thing to do.

Finally you spam the thread trying to force acceptance of indoctrination.

No.
