INTRODUCING! The official GAW Holiday "Kid's Table!" Who's sitting there this holiday season? All the little children who aren't big enough to sit at the adult's table, yet! 😁

🧠 These people are stupid!
Your analogy is a fairly good one I'll concede. However it doesn't seem to have any way of accounting for the adverse reactions produced.
Perhaps if by setting up a mouse trap, came the mandatory and very real risk of irradiation which made you more susceptible to cancers and radiation sickness, then this would make for a more reasonable analogy.
Well, it can. The person setting the traps, in many cases, will at times set the trap off on their own fingers when putting them out. That can be considered a small sacrifice for the overall benefit of setting the traps. For the vast majority of people getting the vaccine, the adverse effects are mild (sore arm, feeling crummy the next day). This is the case with any vaccine, as those feelings are your body reacting to the dormant diseases being injected into your arm.
The interesting thing about being sick is that your fever, the chills, the cough, those aren’t exactly the effects the virus/bacteria are having on your body. That’s actually the protocol your body is taking to fight the sickness inside you. Coughing is the attempt to expel the virus. Phlegm is something your body produces to capture and smother the virus/bacteria (similar to how boogers are your body producing substances that capture dirt and then prevent it from being breathed into your lungs). When you get a shot, you’re getting mild/dormant strains of the virus, essentially giving your body a playbook on how to attack this specific strain of an illness. The mild side effects (generally felt) can be considered your body’s trial run. Unfortunately it makes you feel like shit lol.
What you are describing (and very well to your credit), are what vaccines were originally defined as before the pandemic. The definition I grew up having learned, was that a vaccine involved the introduction of a weakened or killed form of a virus, designed to prompt the body's defenses to identify and defeat the handicapped virus strain--and in doing so provides immunity as the immune system records and remembers the characteristics of the virus for future potential encounters.
However, as we've come to learn on this board, the definition of "vaccine" has since been altered to where an inoculation need only to provide the effect of decreasing symptoms in the event the person does catch the virus, in order to be considered a "vaccine", and immunity seems to be almost unnecessary under this new definition.
Not exactly. It’s still a vaccine. Vaccines are meant to give immunity to the recipient for the strain that is targeted by the cocktail within the shot. However, as a virus evolves, new variants and slightly altered strains are developed, so while the vaccine can provide some protection against the sickness, it won’t be perfect, especially when it’s early on and when there are so many constantly evolving variants. This is why currently people who are vaccinated are still getting sick, and why oftentimes those who are vaccinated feel less severe symptoms than those who are not (as you pointed out)
This has always been the case, and why people get annual flu shots and regular boosters for some of the other vaccines they received previously (such as tetanus). I wouldn’t say the definition has changed as much as people’s understanding has changed
Also, the whole argument that these vaccines "decrease the severity of symptoms", always struck me as something unscientific that cannot even be quantifiably measured. For if a vaccinated person gets covid and has relatively mild symptoms, one cannot make a definitive comparison to what that experience would have been like if they caught covid and weren't vaccinated.
For plenty of unvaccinated persons contract covid and experience relatively mild symptoms that would be of the exact same magnitude or even less severe.
No, friend. The CDC changed the literal definition of the word vaccine. I'm not being hyperbolic in the slightest. Here, look.
