Reply to comment by amestrianphilosopher in Does the common flu vaccine offer any buffer against H5N1 (Bird Flu)? by Esc_ape_artist
Disease isn’t black and white. The extreme options are “you don’t feel sick” and “you die”. There are a whole spectrum of options between those two.
A vaccine that is providing a lot of protection will dramatically reduce your symptoms, and might stop you feeling sick at all.
A vaccine that is providing some protection might cause you to be sick for 50 hours instead of 52 hours, and be in slightly less pain during that time.
