CDC's changing definition of vaccine - copied from here

Re: altering the definition of the word vaccine to suit its needs, CDC allegedly has done just that and several times recently. This went around the webbernet a few times and makes for interesting reading:

according to an archived snapshot of the CDC’s website, the definition of a vaccine February 24, 2011, was:

“A product that produces immunity therefore protecting the body from the disease. Vaccines are administered through needle injections, by mouth and by aerosol.”

By July 2015, the wording had changed to:

“A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed in the nose.”

The wording was the same in June 2017 and likewise in June 2019 and June 2020. By August 26, 2021, however, the definition had changed slightly to add the words “to produce immunity”:

“A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.”

Then, less than a week later, just days after the FDA gave final approval to Pfizer’s mRNA jab, the definition changed again, September 1, 2021 — this time, significantly. The definition of a vaccine now reads:

“A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.”

As you’ll note, the second sentence remains the same. It is the first part of the definition that has dramatically changed. In the latest definition, a vaccine:

  • Is no longer a “product” but instead is a “preparation”

  • No longer directly stimulates the immune response, but is used to stimulate the system

  • Does not produce immunity

  • Stimulates the immune response against diseases, not against a specific disease

  • No longer protects a person from the disease

I was aware of the last change, because of how bullshit it is, but didn't know about the whole series of changes no.

It's like they still don't know that Internet comes with a time machine.

Thanks for all your posts. It's good to capture the most important stuff from r/WOTB over here.

I made a tampermonkey script to add SaidIt submit links under the Reddit ones, so I just have to remember to ctrl-click on both then copy/paste between the tabs :)

Whether to do it every time or only for the most important links/posts is something I'm still not sure about :)

Yeah, that's what I struggle with as well.

I do like the "source" feature that lets me copy/paste other people's posts and comments. I don't know if that's basic reddit or part of RES but I use it a lot.

It's RES apparently. It disappears when I disable the extension, both on Reddit and Saidit :)
