OP's comment pointing out the distinction between "infection" and "disease" has been downvoted to death without an apparent explanation. Could someone elaborate on why? On the surface this looks like an important point to raise.
Is it because an antiviral vaccine that prevents a disease must by definition also prevent infection?
