(65,191 posts)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.
