>Ok, so why does it matter if it's a "drug" and not a "vaccine"?

Because they keep calling people who want to take the drug "anti-vaxxers" lumping them in with people who are against vaccines.

I'm not anti-vaxxer, so it's a lie to call me one. I also am not interested in taking the anti-COVID drug.

Not wanting to take the new, barely tested, anti-COVID drug does not make me an anti-vaxxer even if you change the definition of vaccine to include the anti-COVID drug.

>You're just being contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian. As they say, don't make a mountain out of a mole hill.

No, I am not. People have died, and had their health permanently degraded from this anti-COVID drug. I'm weighing the risks of that against COVID. I'm at very low risk of serious illness from COVID, and unknown risk from the anti-COVID drug. So I'm not taking the drug.

It's not "contrarian" and it's not "making a mountain out of a molehill" it's my body, my choice.

I thing vaccines are amazing and I look forward to new ones. The anti-covid drug isn't one. It's that simple.



> And by the way, J&J and Astra Zeneca <<are>> "vaccines", even by your silly definition.

Quoting myself to highlight the key comment.

> It's not "contrarian" and it's not "making a mountain out of a molehill" it's my body, my choice.

You're just being malicious at this point.
