Change of definition for boosters
In August, 2021, the US Centers for Disease Control redefined a vaccine, from being something that “produces immunity to a specific disease”[2] to something that merely “stimulates the body’s immune response against diseases,”[3] and a vaccination no longer “produces immunity” to a disease, just “protection” from a disease. This change makes the concept sound similar to basic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or any prescription drug one have to keep taking regularly. This vague definition will make it easier for the government to recommend endless boosters for COVID.[4]
