What is a “Vaccine”? Redefining it for COVID Messaging
Related: ethics in medicine, gears of the machine, SARS-CoV-2 aka COVID-19 aka Coronavirus
The Trump COVID vaccines have surely saved a lot of lives. Maybe a short-term win, since allegedly rare breakthrough infections are surging and hospitalizing/killing people. And we must hope that aside from protecting high-risk groups that mass vaccination is not a Pandora’s Box that will cause far greater harm.
Meanwhile, the unvaccinated (with superior natural immunity or not) are being set up for persecution as scapegoats, in case something Bad does come to pass.

CDC’s old “vaccine” definition:
“a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease”
CDC’s new “vaccine” defiinition:
“a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases”
Likewise, Merriam-Webster’s old “vaccine” definition:
“a preparation of killed microorganisms, living attenuated organisms, or living fully virulent organisms that is administered to produce or artificially increase immunity to a particular disease”
Merriam-Webster’s new “vaccine” definition:
“a preparation that is administered (as by injection) to stimulate the body’s immune response against a specific infectious disease”
WIND: by the first definition, Vitamin D is a vaccine, stress hormones are vaccines, foods are vaccines, and so on. Without the pathogen there can be no specific reaction so fault me for that claim if you like but all of the aforementioned influene the immune system strongly. Even the second definition leaves open wide-ranging possibilities.
