It would be inaccurate to say a Covid vaccine is a treatment for Covid. Just like RSV vaccines are not a “treatment “ but rather prophylactic or preventative or preventative treatment if you want to stretch it.

Exactly! Polio vaccines are not a treatment for polio.

“management and care to prevent, cure, ameliorate, or slow progression of a medical condition”

Prevent …progression of a medical condition.

“By that logic it would be
Cure ...progression of a medical condition.”

No a cure means you don’t require ongoing intervention.

That makes my point. It exemplifies why the reading of prevent in that sequence as you offered with the ellipses is a misinterpretation of the sentence in the dictionary.

Just saying it isn't worth arguing about (for the second time.)

It is amusing though. [eos]
