Recommended: Disadvantages of vaccinations

An issue many parents face today with is the common US practice to give all children dozens of vaccinations which may or may not cause side effects ranging from autism to death. Vaccination is the injection of a killed or weakened organism that produces immunity in the body against that organism.

On “vactruth.com”, a website devoted to providing the latest articles about child vacinations, writer “Michelle Goldstein” expresses multiple reasons not to vacinate your child. In her article, “10 Reasons Not To Vaccinate”, she argues that all vaccines contain multiple toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde, lead, cadmium, and thimerosal. She claims that all these chemicals can cause serious neurological damage, but Goldstein fails to provide recorded cases in which children have suffered neurological damage as a direct cause of harmful vacine chemicals.As the saying goes “ anything even water can be deadly in the right doses. Of …show more content…

Again Goldstein fails to provide recorded cases of children developing autism as a result of receiving the vaccine and fails to mention the lives the vaccine has saved. Does not save hundred of thousands of lives or prevent hundreds of millions of people from contracting deadly diseases?(CDC, 2013) Of course it does not. At least not according to Goldstein. Apparently Vaccines are unsafe and should be recalled due to unsafe side effects of death. It might bother Goldstein that 1980 there has only been 8 recorded cases of children developing autism after receiving the HPV vaccine, but when further research was done into these 8 cases if was found that the chemicals in the HPV vaccine did not directly cause autism. But even if vaccines had a small chance of causing autism, that is still better than not receiving the vaccine and having a massively greater chance of death from measles or small

However, in recent times we know that it is also a genetic factor and environmental factor which brings this upon babies. Matsuzaki states, “ genetic and environmental factors play a major role in the development of autism. However, most cases are idiopathic, and no single factor can explain the trends in the pathology and prevalence of autism. At the time of this writing, autism is viewed more as a multifactorial disorder” (Matsuzaki). At the time of the MMR vaccine was being distributed to children it was the age that autism shows most

Those who oppose infant vaccinations believe that they cause a host of chronic, incurable, and life threatening diseases. To start off with the most debatable issue which is that mercury found in vaccines as a preservative leads to autistic spectrum disorders especially since it is given to infants at critical developing periods. According to a study, mercury levels are decreasing in the blood after being given the shot, thus believing that vaccines containing thimerosal which is an organomecury compound are safe to use (Pichichero et al, 2000). According to a more thorough study , mercury is not leaving the body or disappearing but traveling to the brain and turning into inorganic mercuric chloride (Burbacher et al, 2005).In the US, the commonness

Through the development of this investigation I have explored the variety of ways of finding information, In addition, I have faced some of the challenges that historians faced. First and foremost one of the primary sources which I used-- “Vaccine War” an interview featuring Jenny McCarthy was raw information, meaning that it was one of a few stories of concerns parent who told media they had believed that the vaccine was the cause autism in their children. Although this interview does raise questions and include evidence both firsthand and handed down; it is not reliable in a sense that it has almost no scientific foundation. Unlike scientist who have a constant result that never changes, historians on the other side will get different stories

Previously mentioned, there are plenty of stories on the internet alleging that the medical problems their child is now facing is a direct result of the HPV vaccine. As shown above, there is no evidence that suggests the vaccine to be the cause of the problem. In Brody’s article she writes, “The C.D.C has stated unequivocally that clinical trials have shown them all the be ‘very safe’.” This once again displays Ethos because it showcases how the esteemed establishment of C.D.C, which specializes in preventing diseases, has deemed the vaccine completely safe for public

No side effects were found in patients involved in the 2006 study done by Merck, the manufacture for the HPV vaccine. Politicians therefor conclude that the vaccines can only help and making them mandatory will eventually lead to entire diseases being eradicated. Because politicians want to make vaccines mandatory for infants and teenagers, they are by default placed in the at risk group. Parents don’t want to think that their children might or have the potential for engaging in risky behavior that could put them at risk for contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Allen continues on and argues that the HPV vaccine is as common as the flu and that is the reason why it should be mandatory to get children vaccinated against the virus.

Because despite all this happening in 2004, a recent poll revealed that 18% of Americans still believe Vaccines cause Autism, including the president, Donald Trump. So how does a vaccine work anyway? Well a vaccine is basically an expansion pack for our immune system. When harmful microbes enter our body our immune system kicks into action and releases antibodies, little battleships that hunt down the invading virus or bacteria and exterminate it. But that’s not all your body does, it also records a memory of the configuration of that specific pathogen, and the best way to denature it.

Additionally, in order to keep the public safe, the FDA and the CDC rigorously monitors the safety of all vaccines through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The VAERS monitors potential side effects of vaccinations; to date, it has not found any adverse side-effects related to the HPV vaccine.11 Two other sources, the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) and the Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment (CISA), are also continuously monitoring for potential side effects through vigilant use of scientific research.1 Overall, the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the minimal risks to

However, there are more resounding evidence that disproves the relationship between vaccines and autism that can’t be ignored. The study, published by the Lancet in 1998, conducted by Dr. Andrew Wakefield ignited a controversy in the medical world. 12 children believed to have developed autism participated in a study that reviewed their medical histories and evaluated their developments. They were reviewed for any underlying biological/physiological factors that could affect the child’s health.

Dispelling the Autism-Vaccine Myth Over the past three decades, there has been a great debate over the statistical rise in Autism cases and a purported link to childhood vaccines, namely the MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine). According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), autism has risen over seventy-eight percent over the past decade (Snyder, M). It is estimated that one out of every eighty-eight children in the United States has a form of Autism Spectrum Disorder (Snyder, M).

Some examples are that for the past several years we have heard that polio vaccine lead lymphoma and caused the AIDS epidemic, and the MMR vaccine lead to Crohn’s disease and autism. These theories, however have not bothered themselves with facts, that might be fair in the time of chiropractic’s infancy, but now, in the 20th century it is not acceptable. The lack of true information about vaccination is a struggle to the vaccination policy. A research by Kennedy et al. shows that health professionals consider that girls are empowered to make decisions about the HPV vaccine for themselves, some of them decide not to take the vaccine for the lack of information.
