If only there was another proven way of doing this without the risk of serious complications of getting sick.

    Well that is a matter of definition, I consider breaking a finger and breaking a leg to both mean that you have broken a bone.

    Your body still fights the measle virus, you are still infected with it, even if it is a lesswr variant.

      If someone threw the dead body of a robber into a store, would you also call that store being robbed?

        I get what you mean, but if you read the comment I responded to, it mentions a weakened version of the virus, not a dead one.

          Okay, different example. If a country dropped a couple of wounded soldiers without weapons over another country’s territory, would you call that an invasion?

            I get what you mean, but yeah, if the soldiers are on duty and haven’t got permission from the other country to enter their land, technically it is an invasion.
