The claim is that the definition was changed specifically for the COVID vaccines. This is wrong, since other vaccines also weren’t covered by the old definition.

There’s also a serious problem with the phrase “the definition.” There are many definitions. There isn’t a single authority which decides what a word means.

“It was the first time something didn't work that way and was additionally being mandated.”

Come on, seriously? The tetanus vaccine is required for school in many places. Why are you saying something so obviously incorrect, and with an example that disproves it already being part of the conversation? You accuse me of not accepting debate and you do this kind of thing? I can’t even.

No, it isn't. You're describing the _combined_ Tdap vaccine. Why are you saying something so obviously incorrect, and even worse, _intentionally_ misleading?

Tetanus is not communicable. You see the problem with your focus on this one point? You're clinging to it as a defense when it's _entirely_ invalid to do so.

> I can’t even.

Then why try? All you've done is inject emotion and falsehoods into this discussion in order to defend your ego and ideology. Just stop. It's okay that people have a different opinion than you. Running around like a psychopath and labeling things as "complete horseshit" is an absurd response. You are doing this to yourself.

I'm minimizing and ignoring this thread now. Have a nice Thanksgiving!

The tetanus vaccine is mandatory in many places and it’s a vaccine that doesn’t work in the supposedly “normal” way that the old CDC definition describes. So your statement that the Covid vaccine was the first one is just plain wrong. The fact that the tetanus vaccine is part of a combined vaccine doesn’t change the basic facts.
