2. Don't Think Vaccines Are Therapeutic

I don't know about every vaccine, but they're more considered a preventative medicine, not a treatment.
They don't give people the flu vaccine after they get the flu, to make it go away.
We get the vaccine so we never get the flu.
Seems like prepping an immune response after the disease onset is futile.
So, not thinking your irony is happening.

They are intended to prevent a disease.

You really ought to have at least that basic level of medical knowledge.

Vaccines create immunity in orde to keep you from getting an illness. They do not treat an illness once you have already acquired it.
