Just for the record, a vaccine, any vaccine is literally a drug that works to force an immune response. Some are live attenuated viruses, some are inactivated viruses, some are viral proteins. This is the viral proteins, except your own cells make them. Just like if you got the actual virus, except you're not making new viruses, just the spike proteins.
Phizer / Moderna don't have any of those, like you said your own cells make them. It's a drug that gets your own cells to do the work. Most vaccines like you said, are the contagion or part of the contagion. Those 2 in particular don't have any elements of the contagion, it's purely a new type of drug. And vaccines are classified differently than drugs.
Yes one is a drug that mirrors the results of a vaccine and the others are vaccines. But we know the risks of normal vaccines, which are detracting reactions to the ingredients in the medium in which the vaccines are administered, can be NO WORSE than getting the disease itself, because its main component is the contagion itself. With these new "vaccines" we have no idea what a worst case scenario could be. Could a problem in the manufacturing of this drug cause your cells to make a prion (malformed self replicating protein), or could your cells do that normally? I don't know, can anyone?
No, no we don't. And that's my overriding concern. That's why I'm personally waiting before I decide whether or not to get it. But this drug meets the definition of a vaccine. That doesn't mean it's necessarily safe. We just don't know the long term effects yet.

These are really just semantics. The end result is the same.

Except it's not proven that they are the same as the actual viral proteins. It's just speculation at this point.
