Sorry if I came across as argumentative. These are very fine distinctions. I do think they are trying to simplify the language.

If you look at literature directed at scientists/medical professionals, they use much more precise language.

Remember these folks are trying to get through to antivaxers. It probably doesn't help to say "you have to get infected for it to do anything," if that makes sense.

Responses:

- We aren't disagreeing. Well, it depends how you split the hair of what "infection" is. -- nm* - loosilu Aug 19, 14:32
