“any preparation used as a preventive inoculation to confer immunity against a specific disease”
These COVID-19 vaccines are exactly that - and regulated as such by all the Governments on Earth.
America is preventively inoculating against the specific disease of COVID-19, about a million times a day.
It is amazing to me that someone could seriously argue that these are not vaccines. It is patently absurd.
“In doing so (calling officially authorized vaccines “vaccines”), you contribute to the ongoing media lies and increasing govt and corporate tyranny. Your avatar is (unwittingly?) a tool of the media and an enemy of a free republic.”
That reminds me of the scene from the movie Animal House, Where, having exhausted all other options, the Fraternity members claim that the charges against them are the equivalent of bad-mouthing America, and walk out.
Even your beloved, trusted almighty government backs me up - there is no proof that they confer immunity. Never has been, never can be.

•“Does it prevent infection and transmission? We do not know whether the vaccine will prevent infection and protect against onward transmission. Immunity persists for several months, but the full duration is not yet known. These important questions are being studied.”
One final point - You said “regulated as such by all the Governments on Earth”. This is your problem in one phrase. You state this as if you’re ok with it, and trust them, during these times? Do you expect any of us on FR to think you’re not a tool of the coming New Normal tyranny?
