So how do vaccines help? Vaccines can contain weakened or inactive parts of a particular organism (antigen) that triggers an immune response within the body. Newer vaccines contain the blueprint for producing antigens rather than the antigen itself.
When a new pathogen or disease enters our body, it introduces a new antigen. For every new antigen, our body needs to build a specific antibody that can grab onto the antigen and defeat the pathogen. A VACCINE is a tiny weakened non-dangerous fragment of the organism and includes parts of the antigen. It's enough that our body can learn to build the specific antibody. Then if the body encounters the real antigen later, as part of the real organism, it already knows how to defeat it.

allergens. Historically, vaccines have operated by presenting the immune system with a specific antigen -a molecular signature found on a pathogen’s surface- allowing adaptive immune cells to recognize and mount targeted defenses against future infections. This antigen-centric model, established

Kennedy claimed the Novavax shot targets only one part of the virus to produce an immune response and "single-antigen vaccines have never worked for respiratory illnesses."

The comments baffled experts, who noted many examples of effective single-antigen vaccines against respiratory illnesses.

Regardless of whether a vaccine is made up of the antigen itself or the blueprint so that the body will produce the antigen, this weakened version WILL NOT cause the disease in the person receiving the vaccine, but it will prompt their immune system to respond much as it

One good thing that the Covid pandemic brings us are accessible antigen tests. In addition to the now usual Covid antigen tests I bought a box of these quadruple tests, even including adenovirus. Every household should have Cov/Flu/RSV tests at home to know what you are dealing with when sick.
My hand holds a test, broader than an usual Covid antigen test because it has four areas to drip the test liquid in and four test strips: FLU A/B, Covid-19, RSV, ADV. All four tests are negative, I still don't know why I am currently sick 😷🤧 but more often than not these are very helpful
