I'd be curious if the definition has changed in the past year (word redefinition seems to a thing lately and it is Literally not for the better!).

Immunity obviously means being immune. Immune has a specific definition and that is not "helps sometimes".

Resistance or, decreased susceptibility, or whatever other term you wish to use, is not the same as immunity.

Otherwise what word do we use for "immunity" now?
