Thats not the message we got here ( U.K. ) but we have a very different relationship with healthcare here because its mostly free. When i talk to a Doctor i am getting advise. In the USA your talking to a sales person aswell. Its just how it is.This was not the initial message we were given by our government or the drug companies!
They told us "get the vax and you can return to life as normal". Only after "a few break through cases" became "many break through cases" which then became a preponderance of evidence pointing to the fact that many vaccinated people were still becoming infected/transmitting the infection, did the message change to "it will keep you from dying and reduce duration of illness".
I'm not saying the vax is a bad thing (got my shots early on), just saying that the vax should not have been sold as a vax but more so as a therapeutic (which it more closely resembles).
Just my .02
Especially when the nightly newscast is "brought to you by Pfizer".Thats not the message we got here ( U.K. ) but we have a very different relationship with healthcare here because its mostly free.

It's either this or an oil thread.Apropos the divergence of opinion in this thread, might I remind members that we all share a love of motorcycling and we have more in common than separates us.
I'm not sure where the semantics went sideways, but a vaccine has always been a therapeutic. At least that's how I've always understood it. It trains your body to fight an infection. That's how it's been since cowpox was discovered as a vaccine for smallpox.This was not the initial message we were given by our government or the drug companies!

So if someone makes a vaccine that is 0% effective but has the proper mechanism of action, is it still a vaccine?Vaccines aren’t defined by how effective they are but rather by their mechanism of action.
Kind of a pointless question. If it’s 0% effective it has no mechanism of action so could not be defined.So if someone makes a vaccine that is 0% effective but has the proper mechanism of action, is it still a vaccine?
Tyres?It's either this or an oil thread.
Still not as divisive.Tyres?
The CDC has adjusted the definitions of a vaccine to deal with the know-it-alls that decided semantic debates were more important than substance.That's entirely the point. The CDC's definition of a vaccine has changed how many times in the last three years? (2 or 3)
We had promises of 95% efficacy and eradication of Covid with 70% uptake. Was that based on dreams, incompetence, or corporate greed? (Maybe all of that)
