    I remember back in HS and summers in college we would go late night to the Applebee's on 185th and talk shit to the Intel nerds.

    It's more effective than most vaccines ever have been.

    And... The definition update didn't change the meaning. It just modernized it with more scientific terminology.

    I really don’t get this argument. Yes, the definition had to be changed somewhat to accurately include mRNA vaccines. Unlike older technologies that use live attenuated viruses or dead viruses to stimulate the body’s immune response, mRNA vaccines tell cells to produce the proteins that stimulate the response. It’s a newer way of accomplishing the same thing and they have achieved efficacy levels that typical older vaccines can’t match. Is an electric car not a car because it doesn’t have a gasoline engine?

    The AFFECTS/EFFECTS of any vaccine or booster is different with everybody. No different than how people handle drinking for example. Some get crazy ass hangovers after 2 beers, some it takes a case.

    My whole FAM got the booster last month. My wife felt a little nauseous for a day, my daughter and I, nothing.

    Its not that hard.

    Old-Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.

    New-Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.

    Oh, well if that’s your issue, there are only a few “vaccines” in the world. Tetanus? Nope, gotta boost every ten years. Flu - every year. Shingles - they estimate 4-5 years. Even some of the old school ones that they thought were forever immunity aren’t. They don’t think the smallpox vaccines that they gave kids before it was pretty much eradicated are still effective. I’ve read the same about polio. Measles, I think, is still considered a lifetime immunity so I guess that’s a vaccine by that definition.

    Yeah, immunity doesn't mean 100%. It never has...

    Issue is policy based on the old definition of confering immunity, when evidence shows vaccinated contracting and spreading like mad.

    It used to mean unlikely to catch and spread...
