why do we need vaccines?

Answer 1

we don't.

Do NOT get vaccinated.

A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your body.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

Answer 2

Vaccines are actually forms of the virus or bacteria that have been grown so that they do not actually cause the disease (or have very little ability to cause disease, in some cases). By administering them, your body is able to "learn" how to fight the disease without actually having the symptoms. This is because there are a type of white blood cells which will "look" at the disease-causing agent and create antibodies to fight it. The knowledge of how to fight the disease can last for a very long time (many times your entire life). However, if the disease causing organism (known as a pathogen) changes somehow, like the flu does every year, you would need a new vaccine so that your body can learn to fight the new version.
Vaccines have been the single most effective weapon against disease since there inception, by Edward Jenner, who discovered how to prevent smallpox. This smallpox disease was an ancient disease that had plagued humanity for as long as history itself. Within a century of vaccinations, it was nearly wiped off the face of the Earth. The same goes for other debilitating diseases like polio which is almost eradicated.
Of course, vaccines do have side effects, including the possibility of causing the disease, if the person has a weak immune system. A growing concern since about 2 decades ago, has been over the MMR vaccine, because of study which showed the possibility of neurological problems. Though the study design was not well done, the fact that a study existed caused quite a stir.
Also, most vaccines are cultured in animals (for example, the flu vaccine is made in eggs), therefore if a person is allergic to food from that animal, they should not be given the vaccine.
in general, vaccines have been the most useful method to prevent disease known to humans. They use our own body to create a more powerful resistance to disease than any antibiotic or any other drug has been able to provide.

Answer 3

To expose killer white cells in the immune system to a weakened form of the disease so that they can identify it and make antibodies for it. Then the body is all prepared if the real deal comes along. The immune system can ID it much faster and produce the correct antibodies before the disease can reproduce to the point of making you seriously ill or killing you.

Answer 4

Vaccines protect us against deadly diseases like measles, mumps and whooping cough.
