Tetanus is a single, specific infection. Influenza is a collection of MANY viral infections. Each flu virus requires a different vaccine. The yearly Flu vaccine is actually a combination of 4 different vaccines for the 4 viruses that researchers believe will be the most prevailing viruses of the year.

Heat is energy, and energy moves from high energy areas to low energy areas.

Influenza virus can easily mutate and change its spike proteins, this our B memory cells aren't able to bind to this new mutated virus and it's as if it's a whole new virus. Tetanus is caused by a bacteria called clostridium tetani which ofc is a bacteria which posses the power of mutation but can't mutate as rapidly as RNA viruses.

Simpler words influenza is a theif that robs you every week but changes his outfit so you never see him coming but tetanus is a dumb theif which doesn't change his attire when he tries to rob you and gets caught before he could rob you because he robbed you once and you remember his looks now(vaccine)

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how did they know much about bonds if they didn't even know what an atom is made out of? From what I know, bonds are determined by the electron probability clouds and depending on the atoms there can be different types of bonds. But they didn't even know what an electron is!

Everyone in the world knows what someone mean when they that a vaccine targets something.

You didn't even correct, you just said "technically the vaccine doesn't target anything".

It’s not pedantic unless you think it’s pedantic to correct someone’s factually incorrect statement. His claim was wrong in several ways and anyone reading it would misinformed

You have it backwards, though the feeling is the same. Cold things absorb heat. Cold is the absence of heat, and is not a thing in itself.

So, in a basement, if the walls and soil outside are cold, they will absorb heat that comes into the air, making the air cooler down there.

>Technically no the vaccine doesn’t target anything

Is this some weird pedantism about that it's the antibodies that does the targeting?

This makes a lot of sense, thank you!!

Oh yeah I didn't even notice that, yeah it should have been 1 thanks!

Okay perfect, this is helpful! Thanks!

A vaccine is given before an infection (whether viral or bacterial), to stop it happening in the first place.

There are some rare exceptions, like rabies in some cases, where you would use a post-exposure vaccine, but for the vast majority it's a preventive measure not a curative one.

Okay perfect, amazing explanation thank you!

True. My personal answer to this is that I consider a "person" to be the processes that occur in the brain from which consciousness arises via some mechanism that is not yet well-understood, with the body more or less just being a vessel for those processes to occur in and for the consciousness to interact with the world.

And so my personal opinion is that the only real use for keeping a braindead body alive would be to keep its organs viable until transplantation, but I do understand that that is probably an opinion that is quite far to the materialist side of things.

Influenza is localised to the lungs, the virus attaches and multiplies there. From there to lymph nodes in any discernable concentration is a long way. Tetanus is a main circulatory system infection so it will come into contact with lymph nodes more often and in higher concentrations allowing a greater immune response.

You need more top ups of influenza vaccines to increase the possibility of an immune response from the lower concentrations of virus entering the lymph nodes.

Somebody taught me that bacterial infections could not be treated with vaccines. They are entirely different life forms right? You treat them with penicillin.
