From what I understand about this one, and I may be wrong: It doesn't even do that, it just reduces your reaction. You still get it, and it still makes you sick, just not as bad.
A normal vaccine, like say for measles, it gives your body the ability to fight it off before it makes you sick.
I appreciate you explaining what the difference is supposed to be, but that difference sounds made up to me. It doesn't really make sense. It's true that so far they have established efficacy by people reporting if they have symptoms, but symptoms are a result of your immune system trying to clear an infection, not the infection itself. If symptoms are limited the infection must also be less severe, because your immune system is having to do less to fight and clear it.
The whole thing is bullshit, if you ask me.
