By this token, the flu vaccine is not a vaccine either. You have to have a new one each year and it doesn't confer 100% protection.
It seems pointless to argue about the definition of the word vaccine though. Let's call them "shields" instead. The issue is whether the shield provides useful protection, not whether it is perfect.
It's perfectly sensible to evaluate the risk of a given shield versus the protection it offers. I was happy to have it, others were nervous because this was a new form of shield which had not been tried before.
