The CDC Caught Changing the Definition of ‘Vaccine’ and ‘Vaccination’

The timing of the change is very interesting. It would appear that the CDC is trying to change how we understand the concept of vaccinations.

Here are highlights of the definition of terms on August 26, 2021:

Immunity:
Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.

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.

Vaccination:
The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.

Immunization:
A process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.

That had been their definition since at least May 16, 2018. But then, come September 1, suddenly there was a big change:

Immunity:
Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.

Vaccine:
A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.

Vaccination:
The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.

Immunization:
A process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.

Why are they trying to back off of what the definitions used to be? Now they are talking about a vaccine stimulating the immune response but not to “produce immunity.” Now they’re saying a vaccination doesn’t produce immunity but will “produce protection.”
