To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate
Almost everyone agrees that vaccination was one of the most effective methods
ever performed but it is still one of the most debilitating issues facing
medicine today. We will look at these conflicts, try to eliminate false
information and focus on real issues that concern families.
Once vaccines have been implemented, governments are
urgently both making the drugs available to the people and making vaccinations
compulsory in most cases. In the 20th century, immunizations against childhood
diseases, including diphtheria, measles, mumps, and rubella, became immunized
to establish public schools.
In 1974, the WHO introduced the Expanded Immunization
Program. Through their efforts, the last case of smallpox occurred in Somalia
in 1977.
Government agencies are striving to vaccinate as many people
as possible to achieve “protection of the herd”. Herd protection occurs when
enough people are vaccinated to significantly reduce the chances of an infected
person coming into contact with an infected person.
Unfortunately, while the availability of vaccines has
probably been one of the most important steps in eradicating disease (as well
as sanitation and antimicrobials), there have been safety concerns associated
with the administration of vaccines. Try to vaccinate today.
In 1955, two sets of polio vaccines contained a live virus,
which caused an outbreak of polio. In the 1970s, a paper was published that
linked the pertussis vaccine with permanent brain damage. Subsequent boycott of
the vaccine and slide of expulsion cases drove manufacturers of vaccines out of
business, creating shortages and the rapid spread of diseases.
The idea was later challenged but the controversy led to the
creation of a National Vaccine Injury Act, which provides credit protection to
producers, and to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Fund which provides
financial compensation where the drug is proven to have adverse effects.
In 1976, there was evidence that the outbreak of swine flu
could cause a catastrophe such as the 1918 flu, which had killed 50,000,000
people worldwide.
The swine flu vaccine was rushed to the community without
adequate testing, which led to about 500 cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome
before the program was canceled.
Vaccines, such as any medicine or foreign substance that
enters the body, can cause allergic reactions, usually due to the supplement,
that is, the substances used by the vaccine such as a carrier. Side effects
such as localized swelling, fever, crying and are often associated with
injections.
Aside from worrying about certain vaccine problems as
described earlier, there are a few strong people who believe that rising rates
of autism and learning disabilities in the U.S. They are related to their
compulsory vaccination program. Numerous studies have been cited on both sides
of the issue and there is no conclusive evidence that they support or
completely deny these beliefs.
Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by
impairment of social behavior and interactions. This behavior is usually seen
in about eighteen months. Most vaccines are offered with a program starting at
two months of age, which raises the question of whether vaccines are the cause
of autism. Historical reviews show that the incidence of autism increased
significantly during the introduction of the MMR vaccine in the U.S. However,
the recognition of autism as a separate disease is increasing at the same time.
Autism in the UK did not increase after the introduction of MMR there.
In the past, thimerosal, organic mercury, was used as part
of vaccines. Fear of a link between mercury and autism has prompted the
Institute of Medicine to request the removal of thimerosal from vaccines as a
precautionary measure. This step, which could not be based on scientific
evidence, made this fear credible. The current scientific agreement is that
thimerosal causes or worsens autism; in 1999, the ingredient was removed from
almost all drugs.
Overall, vaccines have improved the lives of billions of
people worldwide, eliminated many diseases, or reduced them to small,
manageable outbreaks.
Sponsors who support TO VACCINATE cite the following arguments.
Getting vaccinated protects the individual and the
community; it is the responsibility of living in the community to support the
good of the community.
While most vaccine sponsors see that there may be some cases
where vaccination may not be recommended, they point to the fact that if
vaccines reduce the immune system, there should be a higher rate of infection after
vaccination. A 2001 study of more than 800,000 children in Denmark found that
there was no association.
It is not advisable to include vaccinated children,
especially those who have been vaccinated because their medical conditions
indicate that the disease will have serious consequences, in the ability to
detect the disease in those who choose not to be vaccinated (because vaccines
are not available. 100% work in most cases.)
Manufacturers regularly work to reduce chemical agents in
vaccines such as thimerosal. Children who are not vaccinated against MMR
(Blind, Measles, and Rubella) are 35 times more likely to get the disease,
which can be serious. Varicella (chickenpox) can lead to hospitalization and/or
death. The polio vaccine is still important because polio is still present in
developing countries. These diseases are rare due to high vaccination rates. If
people choose to stop vaccinating, the diseases will recur as research in other
countries has shown. Try to vaccinate today.
There is no reliable evidence of a link between autism and
vaccination. The position is supported by the World Health Organization, CDC,
AMA, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
However, while vaccines are surprisingly successful in the
macro concept, in the individual vaccines can pose a small to a significant
risk of side effects and/or permanent and debilitating damage. There is a basic
belief that the government should not be able to force people to comply with
unwanted medical interventions.
As a result, some people, especially parents of vaccinated
children, prefer NOT to consent and use the following arguments
U.S. vaccination rate It is already more than just a herd of
defensive herds.
Each person or family has the right to choose freely about
invasive treatment procedures. Recognizing the importance of immunization, each
individual or family needs the freedom to evaluate their status, especially
about vulnerabilities, and to choose the best way to treat that individual.
Vaccines are actively promoted for the benefit of
manufacturers. When vaccination-related cases go to trial, pe drug
manufacturers can provide “purchased” specialists to plead not guilty.
The U.S. system The Vaccine Compensation Program has already
paid more than 2000 prizes (more than $ 1.2 billion) for damages due to
policies including a recent lawsuit where a court found that simultaneous
vaccination caused symptoms of autism. Children with autoimmune diseases are at
greater risk of experiencing side effects from the vaccine and should be free to
participate.
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a
government-run program that collects information on adverse drug-related events
receives more than 1,000 reports per month, approximately 10% of actual cases.
The Hepatitis B vaccine is useless – the disease does not
affect even children (less than 1% of all reported victims under the age of 15)
but has a higher risk of serious side effects to the point of death. For less
serious illnesses such as measles and leprosy, the immune system is recommended
because it is 100% effective.
Vaccines contain toxins known as carcinogens such as
aluminum and thimerosal.
The side effects of the MMR vaccine are similar to the
disease and can be severe. The side effects of Varicella are similar to the
disease; Natural diseases provide lifelong immunity, vaccinations require
stimulants. The polio vaccine is not necessary because there has never been a
case of wild polio in countries not included in 20 years. These diseases are so
rare that they are unlikely to be reversible.
While the link between the development of autism and the
increase in immunization may not be the cause, it can still be seen to be the
cause. As a result, vaccination should not be mandatory.
Not surprisingly, there are strong emotions on both sides of
the issue, caused by a wealth of misinformation on the Internet. In the
meantime, is there a middle ground or a solution to the problem?
Solution for more and better research in several areas.
Equally important is research on new and better ways to make vaccines so that
they can be more targeted and less likely to cause adverse events in certain
people.
The middle ground may be represented by the United States
and Canada which enjoy a very high immunization rate and low rates of
preventable diseases but at the same time provide an opportunity for many
people in many cases to be relieved of the need for religious-based vaccination
or medical reasons. This equation allows most people to be well protected while
still giving people the right to exercise free will.
