    The covid shot does nothing to stop you from catching or spreading covid though, no matter how many boosters you get.

    Flu shots are giving you last years strains, that’s why they’re relatively low in effectiveness. The flu mutates every year.

      They all lower the active viral load by training your body to fight the virus. Hence, they are all vaccines.

        Must be the first vaccine that doesn’t stop you catching, spreading, getting sick, or dying from what it’s vaccinating against.

          Well no the first polio vaccine, to use your own example, didn’t do that either. Even today it takes 4 shot to reach 99,9

            No amount of covid shots stop you catching or spreading covid.

              Neither did the first polio shot

              It could be 0,1% effective and it would still be called a vaccine
