Self-Assessment: The Change Project
The Change Project challenged me to look at different pros and cons of vaccinations even though I already had a firm opinion on whether they should be required or not. My strongest argument in this project is that receiving vaccinations does not cause medical problems like autism. There are many medical arguments and research sources that back up much of the information I will be investigating and explaining. I feel as if I will be able to hammer out my pro-vaccine stance very well due to this. I know that I will have to do more research into other said developmental issues that claim to be caused by vaccines. There is enough research in the medical field to prove that vaccines do not cause autism, but I am not sure about other problems …show more content…

I feel that if I go by the book and lay out the processes medical researchers took to find their information that I can be persuasive enough to convince audiences of my stance. By researching these medical breakthroughs, I will be about to get an affirmative answer and convince others that receiving vaccinations is safe and okay. I will also be able to go into detail about how unvaccinated children can be a threat to the population. For example, the known outbreak of measles at Disneyland would be a good example to tie into the argument. A key aspect of proving my stance will be using examples of claimed “harm by vaccines” and backing up why the con side is false with medical research. I do know that I will have to find several different cases that explain why people believe their children were affected by vaccines. Maybe I will find a case that can convince me otherwise, and I will find new opinions and ideas on whether vaccines should be required or not, but for now my

But my problem is that anything could go wrong, and just one child being harmed by these vaccines is enough to convince me not to support them. As Muslims, we are strong disbelievers in vaccinations because they can harm our babies. The essay is very good though in my honest opinion. Delgado essay suggest that he is attempting to make a logical appeal by using various examples of some things we disbelieve and providing statistics to said disbelieved scientific content. He starts by explaining that most scientific achievements correlate with humankind advancement, “The advancement of humankind has always been directly correlated with scientific achievements, from the early years of the world where people built tools to help them hunt, to the Renaissance where people like Leonardo Da Vinci were pushing the bounds of their knowledge” (Delgado

Bihr informs the audience with supporting evidence by Ferdinands et al. (2014) and Dr. Cave (2015) that vaccinations reduce the risks of viruses and protects children. When applying Bihr’s narrative, statistics, and value, the rhetoric is more effective because the audience can agree with Bihr’s points and share a common ground on the topic of protection.

Language is the way humanity communicates with each other; it is the backbone of society and without it, modern society would be changed, from relationships with friends and family to technology that took extensive collaboration to create. Unfortunately, speech is becoming ugly to the extent of it being indiscernible. Valerie Strauss, the author of “More and More, Kids Say the Foulest Things,” claimed that ugly language is “evidence of a decline in language skills.” This decline is caused by using complex words that only obscure meaning, rather than clarify it.

For years Americans have vaccinated their children, but now new questions have risen over whether vaccinations do more harm than good. Since vaccinations are required for children to attend public schools, most people follow through and receive around 29 vaccinations in their lifetime. However, many are concerned that vaccinations change their children’s intellectual abilities, and may in some cases create serious

The parental instinct of protecting one's children plays a role with the increasing trend of vaccine refusal and vaccine delay. Vaccine hesitancy is significant concern as some parents are skeptical about the safety of vaccines, which can consequently lead to vaccine refusal driven by fear of harm. As with the majority of health innovations, there are risks and benefits associated. Similarly, the Public Health Agency of Canada (2013) states that vaccines are not 100% safe, however they are much more safe as compared to the life threatening diseases such as diphtheria. With respect to Wakefield's autism study (1998), a limitation to his study was that the sample size used was very small with only 12 children (as cited in Smith, 2013).

Vaccines have and always will be a huge topic. There are different reasons why people do become vaccinated, and there are also reasons of why some people do not believe in being vaccinated. As a medical assistant, we need to be respectful to all our patients. We are not to argue with our patients because of something we think they should have done. We can provide the patient with facts about what has been found about certain diseases and if there is a vaccine available for that disease.

A source that I could have used to make my research paper stronger is the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID). The NFID gives many reasons to get vaccinated, such as vaccine preventable diseases haven’t gone away, vaccines will help keep you healthy, vaccines are as important to your overall health as diet and exercise, and vaccination can mean the difference between life and death. The NFID gives many logical reasons of why to get vaccinated, this would have helped my essay because this would have backed up my argument. The NFID also gives their recommendations of when and where children should get vaccinated, I believe if parents that are scared to vaccinate their children would read over these recommendations and the FAQs

Over the last decade, there has been a movement to stop the requirement of vaccinations. Many parents want the right to make decisions for the well-being of their own children. They do not want the government to come into their household and tell them how they are to raise their children. They argue that the vaccinations are not safe and are not necessary because most of the diseases we mandate vaccines for are no longer prevalent. However, it is important that children be vaccinated to stop these diseases from reappearing.

Along with autism many thought that vaccines caused cancer. Paul Offit, and American Pediatrician who specializes in vaccines, looked into an experiment and explained,“Eight years after the tainted vaccines had been given, the cancer incidence was the same in both groups” (97). This experiment confirms that there is once again little to no proof that these vaccines cause life changing disorders. One of the groups were exposed to the vaccine and one was not, the number comparison was the same so ultimately vaccines do not cause harm. Some vaccines do contain the live virus so it is possible to get the sickness but it is very rare.

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.

Unfortunately, the anti-vaccination movement is becoming increasingly popular due to individuals’ unfounded fears and imagined consequences associated with the idea of purposely inserting a disease into one’s body. However, despite one’s beliefs, vaccines are essential not only to a person’s well-being, but to the health of those around them. Mandatory vaccinations do not cause autism; rather, they save lives while upholding values of

News Flash! Recent outbreaks of what the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) call vaccine-preventable diseases demonstrate the effects of the anti-vaccination movement. “Antivaxxers” as they’ve come to be called, as noticed on this author's Facebook page, are a population of parents who make a conscious decision not to vaccinate their children. The goal of this paper is to shed some light on the Antivaxxers, their arguments for choosing not to vaccinate their children, and research that proves the Antivaxxers’ theories are wrong. After all, vaccines aren’t something to be concerned about, they are proven to be effective.
