Much as I like Mr. Massie the current definition is more accurate. Even the MMR vaccine (one of the more effective ones, and it also meets the first definition) does not prevent 100% of measles infections; it's about 97% effective.
And maybe you could point out what branch of the CDC Merriam Webster is in? Can't find it in the org chart.
Maybe they should stick to Latin. It's dead too. Though perhaps somewhat limited for propaganda purposes.
These are gene therapies, not Vaccines in the historic use of the term

Currently, mRNA is considered a gene therapy product by the FDA. Unlike certain gene therapies that irreversibly alter cell DNA and could act as a source of side effects, mRNA-based medicines are designed to not irreversibly change cell DNA; however, side effects observed in gene therapy could negatively impact the perception of mRNA medicines despite the differences in mechanism. In addition, because no product in which mRNA is the primary active ingredient has been approved, the regulatory pathway for approval is uncertain. The number and design of the clinicaltrials and preclinical studies required for the approval of these types of medicines have not been established, may be different from those required for gene therapy products, or may require safety testing like gene therapy products. Moreover, the length of time necessary to complete clinical trials and to submit an application for marketing approval for a final decision by a regulatory authority varies significantly from one pharmaceutical product to the next, and may be difficult to predict.
And you realize that quoting something out of context is dishonest, right?
No, he's not right. Gene therapy would indeed be awesome (can't wait to have my inherited susceptibility to lung cancer edited out) but these vaccines are not gene therapy.
One of the important implications of the study, these experts say, is that the introduction of vaccines strongly correlates with a greater share of COVID hospital patients having mild or asymptomatic disease. âItâs underreported how well the vaccine makes your life better, how much less sick you are likely to be, and less sick even if hospitalized,â Snyder said. âThatâs the gem in this study.â
âPeople ask me, âWhy am I getting vaccinated if I just end up in the hospital anyway?ââ Griffin said. âBut I say, âYouâll end up leaving the hospital.ââ
But why listen to medical experts when you can listen to brain-dead celebrities telling you what you want to hear...
and gene therapy? You're right, and it's awesome that we've figured out how to do it. It's going to be a big boon to other disease research. You may someday have your life saved or significantly enhanced by research that started right here. Or you may die a horrible death on a ventilator, choking on your own fluids. Whichever happens, I doubt you'll have learned anything.

Russia had a coronavirus pandemic starting in the mid 1890's. Death came in 5-7 waves (depending on where you were) over 15 years. Some medical historians claim that this event caused the first Russian revolution in 1905, but military historians control the narrative on this and have mainly blamed defeat in the Russo-Japanese war.
There are many pandemics - and some have sketchy back-stories, perhaps they were used for social control, get everyone scared and compliant. If only we had a media that remembered these stories.
Maybe, vaccines will finally succeed to stop THIS pandemic. Maybe they won't.
The earthly pandemic of homo sapiens will remain, as long everyone wants more, and ever more... Ever care to look at marine traffic? Concrete counts for 10 % of CO2 emissions. Just to name 2 examples.
It is not easy, hearing the bell toll when listening to the apparently increpit media.
Vaccinations serve a high rate of spread, still (look at Israel e.g.).
Yet, politics don't seem to acknowledge the facts, regardless, where.
In my country, vacc-certs are the no. 1 'modern' political ingredient now.
Seriously? Get some better talking points. This is just nonsense. a)we interfere with all kinds of stuff. I brush my teeth everyday with a paste that I've never read the ingredients to. Is it nature's way to just have our teeth fall out?

Your choice
I'm a vegetarian who does yoga and eats right and exercises.
So Tom Brady and his kids must get 70 vaccines, whatever is mandated by the local officials? He has no say in the matter?
It's like one of those bingo card drinking games...
And so it came to pass beginning as soon as the vaccines neared approval under an emergency use authorization (EUA) by the FDA that antivaxxers repurposed all their old tropes for COVID-19 vaccines, claiming that they were loaded with âtoxinsâ (the lipid nanoparticles in the mRNA-based vaccines, given that they canât contain aluminum, donât you know?); blaming every death reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database on vaccines, when VAERS is not designed to determine causation and we would expect a large baseline number of deaths in the time periods covered by random chance alone; claiming that vaccines cause Alzheimerâs and prion disease; blaming the vaccines for cancer; resurrecting the favorite old trope of âsheddingâ from the vaccinated in the most risible manner possible; invoking evolution to predict the selection of more deadly coronavirus variants that could wipe out humanity; warning that the vaccines can âpermanently alter your DNAâ; and that they make females infertile. I will admit that there were a couple of new ones, albeit variations on a theme. For instance, because of the new mRNA- and adenovirus-based technologies used to develop the current crop of vaccines, antivaxxers have falsely referred to them as âexperimental gene therapyârather than vaccines, and, because vaccination in the shoulder can lead to transient inflammation of the lymph nodes under the arm, which has led to some unnecessary biopsies after mammography for breast cancer screening, antivaxxers have tried to claim that the vaccines cause breast cancer. So I guess I should say that thereâs almost nothing new under the sun.
All the holed up scared little rabbits talk in the exact same way...

? did not know this. Off to waste an hour on russian historical medical trivia now.
You make a very good point about how the virus every virus evolves to become more contagious but less virulent so basically it knows to survive it needs to make itself spreadable so but it doesn't want to make itself so deadly so it becomes weaker but more contagious.
in other words if we do nothing nothing will burn out all by itself.
we however are interfering with nature and giving everybody some kind of a gene therapy or something that's never been used before successfully and then we have to deal with the side effects of the gene therapy treatment.
but if we do nothing, it's a bell-shaped curve it goes up and then it comes down all by itself just like every other pandemic so really we are just interfering by trying to battle it and what it will do is it'll create variants and side effects because that's what leaky vaccines do.
