    Why would you say that? Is there an alternate place where people are arguing that COVID19 vaccines are not vaccines?

    A vaccine is literally:

    A preparation that is used to stimulate the body's immune response against diseases.

    The way this works is that the vaccine has a harmless amount of a similar strain of the virus that helps stimulate the production of antibodies. The antibodies - while they last - help with immunity.

      What's going on here? I study medical history. In the history of virology, all vaccines have worked in the same way, to inject something that the body will build antibodies for, in order to develop some level of immunity to a virus. I didn't make that up. Where are you getting your definition?

      If you study the history of vaccinations, you would know there are several different methods in which they're given. Your description is too vague, and it requires more nuance than just saying they all work the same way.

      Seriously? It's not my definition. Inoculation methods are not at issue. (The standard definition of 'vaccine' was challenged.)

        Why are you insisting on this false information? What is your source?

          Thank you.

          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

          a preparation that is administered (as by injection) to stimulate the body's immune response against a specific infectious disease:

            Sorry to argue with you, AXXA, but I really don't know why you'd say this, even when you've linked to the accurate definitions. Perhaps I'm missing something here that I just can't understand.

            Something that worries me - more generally - is that there are many in the US, UK, France, Germany, Greece, India and other countries who want so much to believe political propaganda claims that are not facts. This is really dangerous. I can study some of those claims on Saidit, as I tend not to see them elsewhere.
