Did you read this article? Based on what I just read, it doesn’t sound like a therapeutic at all.
It gives your body something that allows it to generate an immune response so that it can quickly attack antigens and fight against an infection. Nothing about what the COVID vaccine does is similar to the therapeutics you mention and it functions in the exact same way as any other “traditional” vaccine.
From what I found, the CDC changed the definition from saying something that “generates immunity” to something that “helps produce an immune response”. This is exactly what the parent comment is alluding to. The definition of “immunity” has been vague. Is it sterilization? Because, as the article points out, isn’t really what any vaccines do. They do the same thing as the latest ones. The main difference is that respiratory infections manifest faster than systemic infections. This is covered in the article here.
