You’re ignoring the fact that there are no vaccines that fit that definition

We have been over this. The 100% clause you added was not part of the definition.

For example, the smallpox vaccine has been effective in preventing smallpox infection in 95% of those vaccinated.

Ok, so why does that mean it does not fit this definition:

A product that produces immunity therefore protecting the body from the disease

You seem to be reading this definition as if it said:

A product that produces immunity therefore always protecting the body from the disease in 100% of the cases where the vaccine is administered. [The italics parts are your modifications]

If a vaccine produces immunity in 95% of people yet fails to produce immunity in 5% of people then the vaccine certainly qualifies as a "product that produces immunity". Just as a can opener is a tool that opens cans even if there are sometimes cans that it fails to operate well on.

Vitamin C and herbal tea and what not might "stimulate the immune system"...but they are not vaccines because they never give one immunity to a specific pathogen by triggering the targeted ability of the body to fight it like vaccines do.

Not mine. Those are the modifications made by those who claim the covid vaccines are not truly vaccines.

The latest figures are that the covid vaccines are 61.8% effectiveness in preventing infection. Why doesn’t that qualify as a “product that produces immunity”?
