Does it prevent infection? If not, it's not a vaccine.
This shouldn't be downvoted, it's true. There's nothing wrong with creating good drugs and therapies, and this looks cool, but if it doesn't stop transmission it's literally not a vaccine. EDIT: I'm wrong. I would have been right for the wrong reasons in 2018, but now vaccines are "any substance that generates antibodies that produce immunity to disease".
I knew I would be when I posted. I accept the consequences of my post.

I have 2 shots, I believe in these shots, but misrepresenting them as something they are not has been dangerous. No doubt it casts shadow upon their value.
This is what they put in chemtrails. ;)
Just mix it into the tear gas canisters at the protests. Problem solved, either the anti vaxxers stay home or get vaxxed.
I got a chuckle out of your comment, because it's kind of funny/clever. But I hope you were not serious. Many people believe it is wrong for one group of people to impose their will on others, on principle. I know that's not the prevailing attitude in our culture, and this causes many ginormous problems for our ginormous governments. We are all created equal. It's better to talk with people who think differently rather than tear gas them.

There's no ambiguity or uncertainty here – the statement is just factually not correct. A vaccine does not need to "prevent infection", and stating that it does is wrong.
It's particularly galling when this kind of statement is made in a way that says or contributes nothing except a literal falsehood.
