See? johnforbes simply repeats his unsupported bullshit A la Trump, because like Trump he thinks that if you repeat a lie enough times, people will believe it. (Well, I guess they will it they're dimwited Republicans.)
Now, let's see what another reputable medical organization called Johns Hopkins Medicine that knows much than dimwitted johnforbes does about the subject, and which he will of course ignore because they are authoritative has to say:
"What is a vaccine?
A vaccine is a medical treatment that helps your body’s immune system recognize and fight disease." [e.g. the mRNA COVID vaccines]
"How do vaccines work?
A vaccine introduces the body to an ingredient that mimics the appearance or behavior of a pathogen that could make you sick. [e.g. the mRNA COVID vaccines]
Those ingredients are called antigens. An antigen might be a germ that has been killed or changed so it cannot cause disease. It can be something that looks or behaves like a pathogen, a harmless part of a pathogen, or instructions for the body to manufacture the harmless part.
When the body encounters the antigen in a vaccine, the immune system responds to the antigen and recognizes it as an unwanted invader. It creates specific defenses called antibodies that work against that particular pathogen.
Later, if the body encounters the whole, active germ in the environment, the immune system is prepared to respond quickly to fight it and help the person resist disease."
"What does a vaccine do?
When you are vaccinated, the antigen enters your body. Special cells called antigen-presenting cells, or APCs, circulate throughout the body looking for invaders.
When an APC encounters the antigen from the vaccine, it consumes it. Then, the APC displays a part of the antigen on its outer wall, like a trophy that other cells in the immune system can detect." [Notice that vaccines themselves didn't "actually [stop] the disease process" as johnforbes lied repeatedly about. It triggered the immune system to produce antibodies against an antigen]
"Can I still get sick if I have been vaccinated?
In some cases, yes. Whereas some vaccines effectively block illness, other vaccines only prevent the most severe form of a disease.
An example is the COVID-19 vaccine, which does not keep you from getting infected with the coronavirus that causes COVID, but can help prevent you from getting dangerously sick from that virus.
Another example is influenza: You might get the flu even when you’ve received a flu shot. This is because each season, flu viruses change (mutate). There are many flu viruses circulating. The yearly flu shot only protects you from the three or four most severe ones: that’s all manufacturers can “fit” into that year’s flu vaccine. You may still get infected with a milder flu virus that wasn’t included in the shot."

So now johnforbes has been spoon-fed the facts from two world class medical organizations; Yale Medicine and Johns Hopkins Medicine, both of which support my assertions. johnny, as admittedly ignorant of the science as he is and as is his wont, merely regurgitates his unsupported lies over and over. Who should intelligent people believe?
