You mean a vaccine that isn't actually a vaccine? How does a non-vaccine work as a vaccine? Well believe it or not, it doesn't vaccinate you and could potentially kill you.

Other than that, it's a great way to meet people.

is a vaccine that doesn't prevent infection a vaccine at all?

The vaccine thats pushed by the man who advocates for population control?

Why would anyone who thinks we are overpopulated want a vaccine that would save lives and thus increase the population? Would you trust that vaccine?

The J&J version is closer to a regular vaccine. It doesn't use unattenuated coronavirus, but it exposed the body to material that causes the immune system to make antibodies. The mRNA treatments are almost like sythentic viruses, as they act directly on cell nuclei, causing them to create antibodies.

The main difference, as I understand it, is that the mRNA treatments kinda shoulder the immune system out of the way to make antibodies, whereas the J&J version uses the immune system more normally.

Given the history of mRNA treatments, I would prefer not to be in the first gigantic test group and spend the next several years wondering if something interesting is going to happen. If I'm forced to take a vaccine (which may end up being the case to keep my job), I'd want something more like the J&J. I'm still waiting as long as possible to see what ends up happening, but I'd trust that more than the mRNA shots.
