• It is unlawful under the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 41 et seq., to advertise that a product or service can prevent, treat, or cure human disease unless you possess competent and reliable scientific evidence, including, when appropriate, well-controlled human clinical studies, substantiating that the claims are true at the time they are made. • Definition of Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose. • Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected. • “The primary endpoint is the prevention of symptomatic COVID-19 disease. Key secondary endpoints include prevention of severe COVID- 19 disease and prevention of infection by SARS-CoV-2.” • “As of this writing, no correlate of protection for SARS-CoV-2 has been established.” • “No existing vaccines have been shown to be effective against infection with any betacoronavirus, the family that includes SARS-CoV-2, which causes Covid-19.” Polack FP, Thomas SJ, Kitchin N, et al.

Haven’t you heard, there’s only one view allowed these days. Conspiracy theories are no longer tolerated. Now shut the hell up and give me your arm if you ever want to go outside again.

Ooops? Most folks have heard this but not all so for them - YOU HEAR THAT?!?!
It's not a vaccine people.
When they offer you the shot tell them when they get a vaccine they can.
You didn't sign up for genetic modifications.

Some have to have a qualified authority figure to be convinced.
I think they quit using the new vaccines in CA.

“No existing vaccines have been shown to be effective against infection with any betacoronavirus, the family that includes SARS-CoV-2, which causes Covid-19.”
A relatively small number of people have received adenovirus-vectored vaccines, and no vaccines based on mRNA technologies have yet been approved. Would these new products be effective and safe?
The vaccine BNT162b2 is a modified RNA that encodes a version of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein containing mutations that lock the protein into a conformation that can induce neutralizing antibody responses. Early clinical trials showed that it could induce both humoral and cellular immunity, although we did not know until now whether these responses would protect against symptomatic infection. Today we know.
Actually, it apparently induces the immune system to produce antibodies. Otherwise known as an immune response.
If it trains up the immune system to identify particular antibody proteins, it is useful as an immunization even if they called it "Edward".
His credentials are actually quite impressive:
