Sterilizing immunity is the term for that, and just as with the flu vaccine we cannot yet achieve such an outcome with Covid vaccines. Respiratory viruses seem to be particularly difficult in this respect.
- headsoup 5y agoAnd the fact the mRNA method is not technically a vaccine as such (excepting that they've changed the definition since). The vaccine was sold as the ticket to freedom with early claims that it prevents spread and death. It does neither, might actually increase risk of more virulent strains longer term and brings a false sense of security to those not informed fully of the ongoing risks. It will be the 'unvaccinated' - the 5-10% left - somehow still causing all spread and death because that's easier than having to continue to be cautious and responsible after 'taking one for the team' with the jab, or admit the vaccine mostly provides individual risk reduction, not societal.
