Websters dictionary changes definition of vaccine

Websters dictionary changes definition of vaccine
Share on LinkedinShare on WhatsApp

For decades the definition of ‘vaccine’ had remained the same according to the Webster Dictionary. Earlier this year Webster changed the definition.

For decades the definition of Vaccine had been: ‘A preparation of killed microorganisms, living attenuated organisms or living fully virulent organisms that is administered to produce or artificially increase immunity to a particular disease’

The definition now reads ‘a preparation that is administered (as by injection) to stimulate the body’s immune response against a specific infectious agent or disease: such as a: an antigenic preparation of a typically inactivated or attenuated pathogenic agent (such as a bacterium or virus) or one of its components or products (such as a protein or toxin)’

Additionally, the definition of the word “anti-vaxxer” was changed. The definition now reads “A person who opposes the use of vaccines or regulations mandating vaccination”

While the term “anti-vaxxer” has always been extremely controversial and politicized, it appears that anyone who opposes the covid-19 vaccine, or mandates in any way is now considered anti-vaxx.
