> Ideally we’d want neutralizing vaccines wouldn’t we? Before the pandemic, my idea of a vaccine was a preventative measure that worked for long periods of time.

That is because it was the common definition, which is why vaccination treatments were sometimes called immunization. The definitions had to be changed for the COVID vaccines because they perform so poorly in comparison to other common vaccines that they would not be vaccines under the previous definition.

They shouldn’t have changed the definition. I saw them as the same as flu shots. They call them seasonal flu vaccines, the COVID ones have the same issues but decrease their efficiency rapidly.

If people knew it would lose its efficiency so rapidly I doubt they’d have used it, or gotten 2 shots in quick succession.
