That’s kind of circular though.


No, it's a definition of a term that has developed through extensive research, usage, publication, clinical practice etc. What's circular is changing the definition of something so well established, to fit a political agenda.

But every FDA approved vaccine isn't delineated along 'attenuated or dead' as the OP implies.

It’s called innovation. Vaccines have always been designed to produce an antigen that your body then reacts to. That reaction produced antibodies which helps you fight of the disease in the future.


The MRNA vaccine introduced the antigens in a different way, but the principle is the same.
