>Research has shown that the biotech firm’s shot is effective at preventing people from getting sick with COVID-19, but there’s no hard evidence that it stops them from carrying the virus “transiently” and potentially infecting others who haven’t been vaccinated, according to Dr. Tal Zaks, Moderna’s chief medical officer.

As I understand it, the vaccine is a new type of vaccine never before approved for use on humans, so we really don't know what to expect. The question now is what this new form of vaccine shedding should be called. Obviously 'vaccine shedding' isn't exactly correct because that's when the vaccine gives the person the virus, and the risk from the Covid vaccine is different in that even if you get the vaccine there is absolutely no protection for carrying an asymptomatic infection and spreading it.

So its not even technically a vaccine because all it does is mask the symptoms but you still catch the targeted vaccine and are contagious with it.

Discuss? What should this new form of vaccine shedding be called? What should this new type of pseudovaccine be called?
