where as this current covid delta is supposedly making the vaccinated a host and not killing the virus, only making it more transmissible to those around them?
im all for taking a covid vaccine but if what i have read is true, mRNA is not a 'vaccine' by definition?

I believe it's about where the virus replicates. The reason this virus is so dangerous is it replicates in the throat and nasal cavity w/o really causing any harm. So it doesn't get the body's defense mechanisms worked up.
That only happens when the virus moves into the lungs, or some other neurological place. So if someone took a vaccine, the antiobodies wore off, they may have to get a little sick before the T and B cells are spurred into action to create new antibodies, which are what actually neutralizes the virus.
Most other diseases start making you sick right away. So there isn't this delayed response while you also unfortunately happen to be infectious.
