Reply to comment by _Silvestris_ in The Race to Make a Vaccine for Breast Cancer by AdmiralKurita

I mean if you can’t tell the difference between an actual vaccine(polio) and what the Covid one is…. It is not the same. I got it, but vaccine means prevention, we don’t have that for Covid

There is no difference. They both only prevent the severity of infection and the degree to which disease develops. Vaccines aren't magical virus shields.

Covid has a super short incubation period, so the immune response isn't fast enough to stop symptomatic cold-like disease. But it does stop it from progressing into severe disease.

That's exactly what the polio vaccine does, but in the intestines. It stops it from progressing to the nervous system.

It’s almost like they set themselves up. Good response.

They don’t have any reasons for their opinions besides “libs liked vaccines so it’s bad”

I'm glad you got it but that's not at all how vaccines work. Both are vaccines but the two diseases don't react and respond the same to vaccines which is probably the source of confusion. Someone below me summarized it nicely.

That’s the stupidest comment I’ve read this whole week. Congratulations on your stupidity.
