Are we actually "vaccinated?

[AProudLefty]

The description you cited was clearly dumbed down so that 3rd graders and people like you could "understand" it, regardless of the source.

No it's so that YOU can understand.

Here's a more accurate definition:

vaccine
[vakˈsēn]
NOUN
a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease.

Again, you are refuting a point I didn't make. And again, congratulations! I can type queries into search engines too!

On a totally unrelated note, remember when I told you Grind wasn't really gone?

Yes. Anyone can google what experts say.

If a vaccine does what it does, it's a vaccine as per the definition.

You trying to fight me on that one won't change that fact.

The OP thinks the term "preventive measure" means it prevents the virus 100% of the time.

How can you not see the humor in that? By that logic, eating less red meat doesn't help because it doesn't prevent heart diseases.

I don't think I remember you telling me that. Vague recollection.

Well he's back.

 

[AProudLefty]

Well he's back.

Yeah I noticed. I replied in a couple of his threads a couple of days ago. He's just the same as usual. LOL. He has one of the most awesome of avatars. I've told him that before.

He's a worthy opponent.

 

[AProudLefty]

Well he's back.

Are you trying to tell me something?

Remember when we got a flu SHOT? It wasn't called a vaccine because you can still catch the flu.

That is not how reality works. It is called the flu vaccine, and is called a shot because it is injected. Any vaccine that is injected can be called a shot. No vaccine is perfect.

I know you have trouble with reality, but please ask rather than give out your ignorance.

 

[Into the Night]

Remember when we got a flu SHOT? It wasn't called a vaccine because you can still catch the flu. Why doesn't that definition apply now? We aren't actually getting vaccinated, we are getting a shot.

vaccinate
[ vak-suh-neyt ]
verb (used with object), vac·ci·nat·ed, vac·ci·nat·ing.

to inoculate with the vaccine of cowpox so as to render the subject immune to smallpox.
to inoculate with the modified virus of any of various other diseases, as a preventive measure

I would argue, correctly, that these shots are not making us immune nor are they preventing the virus from infecting you. The term "vaccine" is a phony claim as is the many political policies intended to protect us from a relatively harmless virus. Particularly in the case of Omicron.

We are being gaslighted. It's time to wake up sheeple.

It was called a vaccine. They were too. The problem is, there are thousands of variant of the influenza series. While you may be immune to one or more due to flu vaccinates, that only leaves a few thousand more.
It's also why you can catch a cold, even though you've had one before. There are thousands of variants of the rhinovirus series. Your immunity only applies to the one you caught (and some closely related ones).

There are only a couple dozen variants of the Covid/SARS series of viruses. NONE of them kill.

Immunity does not mean you will never again be infected. It only means that if you ARE infected, your body knows how to fight it off before symptoms show or before symptoms become very noticeable.

Denying science makes them look so silly



They keep asking all these silly confused questions

You are describing yourself and other Democrats.

 

[Into the Night]

And another RW anti-vax thread, shot to shit and back. Merry Christmas, Lefty!

Paradox V.

 

[Into the Night]

No one is denying science.

The Church of Global Warming does. So does the Church of Green, the Church of Covid, the Church of the Ozone Hole, and various other religions popular with Democrats.

There isn't any science in what our political class has been doing.

More religious class, but...yes, you are correct.

If you had a brain, which you obviously don't, you could comprehend the obvious. [/size]

It's only silly to a brain-dead idiot like you because you don't have the intelligence to comprehend the obvious.

That asking a lot of Lefty, don't you think? He doesn't even know what he's talking about much of the time.

I don't know about you, but I for one am enjoying my new super powers. The only downside is that annoying beeping whenever we pass a cell tower.

So...you are saying that no one has ever died of Covid-19?

Not the definition of a vaccine. Vaccines work by inducing a weakened 'disease'. They are NOT an antigen. They teach your body how to make antigens against the selected virus. Learn English.

They are talking about what goes into the vaccine.

Not how many flu strains there are.
