The key word is "vaccine". The mRNA gene therapy is NOT a vaccine by any of the requirements under law. Just because Merriam-Webster dictionary, Wikipedia, and the CDC's web page changed the definition to fool the public doesn't change the legal definition found under 42 U.S. Code § 300aa–22. Again, the definition has not changed and would require an Act of Congress to change it.
it would be farther back. US code usually puts definitions at the front. when i found the area, "vaccine" was not one of the words defined. however, a change to the definition would not have a retroactive effect. one would not expect a law from the 1950s that used the word "web" to be referring to the internet.

That is very interesting. I looked up that legal code you mentioned, but I can not find the definition you speak of in it.

Can you direct me to where "vaccine" is legally defined in that code?
