That's not how inoculation works at all. Viruses are physically modified from the wild version in such a way that they are not virulent when introduced to the host, however it is similar enough to trigger the host's immune response so that when the wild version is encountered the immune system is ready to protect itself before it can spread.
Homeopathy is a blatant fraud.
