      That is true for perfect vaccines (like measles) where mutation is low and transmission is halted.

        What tiktok idiot did you get that gem from?

        EVERY case prevented stops a transmission; that’s a tautology. EVERY case prevented is one less chance to mutate.

          Not every vaccine is fully preventative. But most that require only one dose (like measles) are.

          The school that beat your debate team.

          Are you arguing against vaccination for measles? Because I’m not.
