Question about the COVID-19 vaccine?

Someone is telling me the COVID-19 vaccine isn’t really a vaccine, but is pathogens designed to trigger an immune system reaction, which is something your body can do naturally without an injection, after being exposed to COVID-19. That’s not true, right?

    Thats what ALL vaccines do

    Vaccines trigger a faster and deeper immune response than is triggered naturally after exposure.

    what  do you think a vaccine is? a vaccine is weaken virus cells, so your immune system can recognise them and easily kill tHEM, that way when your body sees the real thing, your immune system recognises it and starts attacking it. some people have strong immune systems that can kill any virus, but some people have normal or weakened immune systems that can be over whelmned by the virus, before the immune system can kill the virus

    ie: a virus can be in your body and your body doesn't know its a virus, so your immune system does nothing, and the virus is still expanding inside your body. a vaccine teachs your body what the virus looks like, so it can attack the virus immediantly

    EVERY vaccine is designed to trigger an immune reaction.

    The primary difference between a vaccine and the actual pathogen is the vaccine isn't supposed to be capable of making you ill.

    That is indeed not true.

    A vaccine is not a pathogen, but something that looks like one to the immune system.

    Just like the composite picture of a most wanted criminal is not the criminal.

    While it is true that being exposed to the real pathogen might make you immune, this immunity might start after you are dead. This is what the vaccine is trying to avoid.

    Now, it that so hard for you to understand?

    That probably closer to the truth.

    80% of the people who have "died from Covid" actually died from pneumonia.
