not only two individual microorganisms (strains).

And the number is growing as more are discovered.

Again, talking science with you is like talking finance with you. You oversimplify and claim understanding pretty much every time.

It leads others to think you can't read.

uh-oh - judge saying COVID 19 vaccines aren't vaccines - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:25:59
     Did you read the opinion or just the headline? (nm) - DC Jayhawk KU - 3/12 13:53:04
     If it is not designed to prevent transmission it is not a - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 12:38:58
          why are you stupid? (nm) - pickle MU - 3/12 13:10:53
               From you that is not any type of insult. The first time you - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 13:21:47

          It is designed to prevent infection by stimulating - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 12:48:14
               Vaccines, yes. That is why the COVID shot is NOT a vaccine. - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 12:55:57
                    so, the flu shot is not a vaccine?(nm) - CulturedDan MU - 3/12 13:47:46
                         The flu shot is a best guess each year of what strain will - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 14:30:39
                    The original COVID vaccine was over 90% effective in - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 13:02:54
                         Was it? Or did its roll out coincide with the weakening of - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 13:06:52
                              JFC.. when it mutated it was no longer the alpha strain(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 13:07:29
                                   So was the shot 90% effective or was the mutation - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 13:20:31
                                   and so the shot was never effective - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:14:29
                                        It is effective against every strain it is designed for.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 13:20:10
                                             oh, then you accept there are two types of influenza - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:32:14
          yes - vaccination should contribute to herd immunity - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:40:45
               After 80 years of flu vaccines, do we have 'herd immunity" - Spanky KU - 3/12 13:31:55
                    why would we? - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:34:37
                         The flu vaccine is a vaccine administered via a shot - Spanky KU - 3/12 13:40:56
                              so says the CDC - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:47:27
                                   It has been called a vaccine since the 1930's(nm) - Spanky KU - 3/12 14:13:24
                                        it sure has - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 14:23:38
                                             So you are only concerned about the COVID vaccine and - Spanky KU - 3/12 14:55:50
                                                  did I say that? no - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 15:16:12
                                                       So.. no immunity from current typhoid vaccine. - Spanky KU - 3/12 15:28:05
                                                            I say call it "the shot" and be honest to folks - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 15:54:17
                                                                 even though it is a tetanus vaccine delivered via a shot - Spanky KU - 3/12 16:38:12
               Herd immunity does not exist for COVID dummy.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 12:48:44
                    herd immunity can exist for any virus - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:50:04
                         No dummy. There is this thing called evolution.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 12:51:26
                              yes, that's Muller's ratchet - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:52:21
                                   Why is there not herd immunity for influenza?(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 12:52:47
                                        Is it a single virus? - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:55:09
                                             There are two viruses that cause infection in humans - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 13:01:29
                                                  no, there are two *types* of flu viruses - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:13:01
                                                       Dumfuk.. there are two influenza viruses A and B that - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 13:26:44
                                                            False - "A" and "B" are types - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:30:54
                                                       You would have an easier time teaching your cat quantum - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 13:23:55
                                                            the cat is less stubborn - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:33:19
                                                            A physics teacher that doesn’t understand the basics - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 13:27:38
                                                                 you just got yourself again - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:47:55
                                                                 Do you really think evolution is taught in physics classes? - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 13:37:39
                                                                 probably a PE teacher that got thrown into a physics class - Seagull MU - 3/12 13:30:20

          the legal recognition is - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:46:41
     So the judge is a dummy.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 12:27:14
          Correct. The judge is dumb(nm) - Spanky KU - 3/12 12:35:34
               no - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:43:03
          It's not a vaccine though - AWOLTiger KC - 3/12 12:29:24
               I find it funny they actually had to change - BigDave MU - 3/12 12:42:36
                    Nor did the flu vaccine 'produce immunity' - Spanky KU - 3/12 12:56:41
                         "produce protection" - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:00:46
                              Does the flu vaccine "produce immunity"?(nm) - Spanky KU - 3/12 13:10:49
                    yes, and the legal distinction - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:56:02
               Is the flu vaccine a vaccine?(nm) - Spanky KU - 3/12 12:36:04

                    it's true the flu vaccine is built on - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:39:52
                         Efficacy against the strain it was created for is very good. - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 12:46:27
                              Because it is a therapeutic, not a vaccine. And stupid - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 12:58:29
                                   wrong (nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 13:04:55
