Lets be clear: No vaccine prevents initial infection. If a virus gets into a cell, THAT is infection. Vaccine reduces productive infection & prevents disease.

HPV vaccine (and others) prevents initial infection. It doesn’t matter that most don’t work that way — and that the SARS-Cov-2 probably won’t. She’s simply wrong.
She has a PhD. I read some textbooks. Yet I knew something that she didn’t in her own field. Some “experts” we have going on here. (And the point she’s making is 99% of the time irrelevant, and kind of a “well, actually” type of tech-bro point, anyway.)
