And they were also using refrigerated produce trailers in NYC because they didn’t have enough morgue space for all the bodies. The development of these vaccines were a historic scientific achievement and those usually have some flaws, doesn’t mean they weren’t breakthroughs. Find me any trustworthy virologist who says we shouldn’t have developed and used that vaccine
You’re not inherently wrong noticing that these updates came right as the Covid vaccine was rolled out. Could that simply be because they were in the midst of a massive vaccine initiative and they wanted to be as accurate and transparent as possible to the public? Do you have any other tangible evidence of this perhaps being more than an update to scientific definitions? I’m struggling to see the connections you are but am very open to listening to your thoughts and seeing your perspective.
https://youtu.be/5lglnnqXgxE?si=AEigFVdDiPWkTado https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8656271/ there’s a cute little video summarising it for you and an actual research paper in case you wanna go on your own deep dive x i found several news articles too but i figured you’d probably find some objection to that (im not well versed on american news articles n which ones yall accept and which ones you don’t)
for sure but then you start looking at other factors and taking them into account. for example, if that discrepancy was unnecessary to change prior to covid, why was it so important for it to be changed just as the vaccines rolled out? there’s a lot more that was going on behind the scenes that most mainstream media pushed to the side so people wouldn’t connect certain dots as easily.
How are they different? Imo it sounds like the definition was refined to be more accurate to real life - the flu vaccines, measles vaccines, etc. all stimulate an immune response in the body. None of these vaccines make someone 100% immune (they instead help establish herd immunity), so it’s kinda misleading to say it is in a definition of what a vaccine is I’m open to hearing what you think tho
I’m actually not sure what that paper (“Vaccination terminology: A revised glossary of key terms including lay person’s definitions”) was supposed to prove tbh. I don’t see anything about the agencies changing the definitions. In fact they literally make their own definitions and show how those are much easier to understand than the ones from the health agencies
I mean in some cases it wasn’t coincidental and they specifically needed to change it because the old one was way too specific like “contains a weakened or inactivated form of a virus or bacteria”, and that didn’t cover mRNA vaccines. I have no clue why they didn’t change it before when that definition didn’t fit protein subunit vaccines (Hep B, Gardasil, and shingles). I guess they just never noticed it or figured it was already sufficient for laypeople
Ahh I appreciate you, I didn’t realize that the previous definition already conflicted with some vaccines; but I could really see it being something along the lines of what you said about them thinking the previous definition was sufficient enough for laypeople, especially with how big of a disconnect in terminology there is
