I was on a quest to find an online dictionary that has definitions in it
that I agree with, and I have found happiness with "Collins Dictionary."
It has the definition for "vaccine" as follows:
"A vaccine is a substance containing a harmless form of the germs that cause a particular disease. It is given to people, usually by injection, to prevent them from getting that disease."
Correct! Jim, tell em what they've won!
Google obviously has a misinformation partnership with Merriam Webster because check out their hilarious definition:
"A substance used to stimulate immunity to a particular infectious disease or pathogen, typically prepared from an inactivated or weakened form of the causative agent or from its constituents or products."
(Conspiracy? I think so!)
