To this day — more than three years after Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA COVID-19 drugs received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) —  television, radio, and the Internet still inundate the public with ads, messages, and stories about COVID vaccines. But, are the mRNA COVID-19 shots genuinely vaccines? These products never aligned with the pre-September 2021 definitions of “vaccine” and “vaccination,” as defined by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). At that time, a vaccine was defined as, “A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.” And, the CDC then defined vaccination as: “The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.” [Emphasis added.] Abundant evidence now shows that mRNA COVID drugs did not produce immunity protecting a person from contracting or transmitting the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. So why do the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and CDC still assert that the COVID injections are vaccines, and does it matter?Much more than semantics is at issue when public health and regulatory agencies refer to the mRNA COVID drugs.
