If one defines vaccine in terms of a Virus or Bacteria rendered harmless then since Pfizer and Moderna are a little blob of fat with a strand of genetic code inside it could be classified as an artificial virus. So the "Über-quack" may have a point.

We have a lot of sub-unit vaccines that use single proteins. We do not define a vaccine that way. If it helps, the post includes the FDA's definition.
