Throughout your life, you have known that when you get vaccinated, you are protected from a particular disease. You’ve probably been vaccinated against diseases like polio, tetanus, measles, diphtheria, and others, and you no longer have to worry, because the whole reason your parents went to the doctor to get these vaccines was to protect of these. diseases. Poliomyelitis, in particular, has been completely wiped out in the United States thanks to the immunity created by vaccination.
That’s why the CDC says vaccines provide immunity, which means we can be exposed to a disease without getting infected with it.
At least they did before.
A recent change to the CDC website should bother us all because it looks like the CDC is trying to change the way we understand vaccines.
Here is the “Definition of Terms” for vaccination as captured on August 26, 2021. I have highlighted the key points.
Immunity: Protection against infectious diseases. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without getting infected.
Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity against a specific disease, protecting the person from this disease. Vaccines are usually given by needle injections, but they can also be given by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body produce immunity to a specific disease.
Immunization: A process by which a person is protected against a disease by vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.
These definitions have been in place since at least May 16, 2018.
Recommended: A new study shows an advanced risk of infection, not everything it has so far
Now, here’s the “Definition of Terms” for vaccination, which was updated on September 1, 2021, with the changes highlighted.
Immunity: Protection against infectious diseases. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without getting infected.
Vaccine: A preparation used to stimulate the body’s immune response to disease. Vaccines are usually given by needle injections, but some can be given orally or by nasal spray.
Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body produce protection of a specific disease.
Immunization: A process by which a person is protected against a disease by vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.
So until last week, a vaccine went from being something that “produces immunity to a specific disease” to something that simply “stimulates the body’s immune response to disease” and a vaccine no longer “produces immunity” to a disease, only “Protection” against a disease.
Does anyone else find it disturbing? Why did the CDC suddenly redefine “vaccine” and “vaccination” to make them sound similar to your basic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or prescription drug that you should continue to take regularly?
No explanation is given for the change.
This is part of the Biden administration’s efforts to get the public to accept COVID-19 promoters regularly by changing the way we understand the purpose of vaccines. Vaccines, which we are now supposed to accept, do not provide us with immunity, but only protection against disease. This vague definition means that essentially the government can recommend endless reinforcement for COVID (or any other disease) because, they say, vaccines no longer make us “immune”. And yes, there are several vaccines that need boosters, but that never changed our understanding or the definition of vaccines and vaccination.
The Biden administration already has a problem with vaccine hesitation following the Johnson & Johnson vaccine break. Want to know how to increase hesitation instead of decreasing it? Something like that.
