Since that portion of the virus then acts as an antigen, it is a vaccine.
Nope.
It doesn’t confers sterilizing immunity; rather the opposite.
And there are significant differences in the mechanism of the immune response: as well as distribution of the spike protein throughout the body: as well as not conferring recognition of the highly preserved nucleocapsid proteins.
You have no idea what you’ve been told to parrot.
