Indeed. My view on vaccines is that they are not a cure but act as prevention agents.

  There's multiple vaccines that can also work after you've been exposed to a pathogen. In many such cases risks vs benefits will change by the event. For example rabies vaccines is not given to everyone, however after you get rabies you will be given that vaccine. Vaccine in this case is a less harmful training tool to prepare you for the more harmful pathogen that may still be reaching its peak strength. You can think of vaccines as a training tool. In some cases it might provide you with a response that can completely throw the pathogen out, in other cases it will just be able to fight it better.

    >For example rabies vaccines is not given to everyone If you could spread something as bad as rabies by sneezing. You would see actual mandatory vaccinations, not the mild nudge people have been complaining about the last three years.
