    I’d say it is immunity.

    Sure, you’re not immune (as in will never get the disease itself, let alone its symptomps), but it is your immune system getting a boost.

    First it was innoculation with live bacteria. Then came traditional vaccines with half-dead ones. Now it’s mRNA, meaning just the part the immune system actually needs is extracted beforehand.

      Sure, it’s just wordplay that causes issues with the media/perception. Many people were saying well if you can still get COVID what’s the point of getting vaccinated, because you aren’t immune. And then those people didn’t like it if you asked them what the point of wearing a seat belt was because it doesn’t prevent you from getting into a car accident, just decreased the chance you will die or get seriously injured in the crash.

      Which inevitably, ended with people then swearing off seatbelts. I agree though, it’s like giving your immune system an upgrade.
