Vaccines have always been about preventing the spread of the disease and “the definition of vaccines” has not changed.

- picofarad 3mo agoVaccine the word came from vacca for "cow", and cowpox virus being weakened and injected to prevent cowpox. MRNA is not weakened virus, it's a spike protein in this case. Or so that's the argument.

Inoculation is where a weakened pathogen is introduced to create immune resistance against that same pathogen (see inoculation parties).
