You are using the word 'sterilizing' to gain footing, though the difference in most peoples' meaning is negligible

What do you mean by "most peoples' meaning"? Do you mean most people don't understand the difference between a sterilizing and non-sterlizing vaccine?
When I get the MMR vaccine I don't need to worry about what versions of Measles it is and isn't effective against or how many months later I should start looking at getting another vaccine.

That's a pretty big difference for most people.

DTAP is not near 100% at preventing, required for schools, and needs lifelong boosters.
