vaccination question?

Question

I know that we have vaccinations for a reason; to prevent the certain desease to come back, right? Well, for example, Polio, it is pretty much emiminated in the USA, however it is NOT in other countries, so I know that since parents know it is gone here in the USA it can't come back, but IT CAN and that is why we still use this vaccine, because even though it is not present, it CAN come back, so why do people think this way? (And this is for other dieases as well.)

Also, other dieases are showing up more and more because parents are not vaccinating, so why exactly are people against vaccinating, when the diseases are not totally eliminated?


I vaccinate my child.

Answer 1

I couldn't agree more. people can believe what they wish, choosing whether or not to immunize. but the stats don't lie. one example: before the MMR shot in the sixties, annually 135 million children were infected worldwide, 7-8 million of them died. Fast forward to now...2 million kids infected worldwide annually (488 of US kids were infected in 1996), not sure on death rates but it has to be below 7-8 million obviously. I know a good many people fear adverse affects such as autism (which there have been no conclusive proof that the immunization causes it) but even then 1 in 250,000 that are immunized have been diagnosed with autism. so 4 autistic kids for every million saved potentially.

So that being said, and if autism was a possible side effect, isn't a child with a disability better than no child at all?

I understand my view might not be favored by all, but I go by numbers, they don't lie.

Answer 2

There's a lot of controversies right now about vaccinations in general from containing mercury; allergies, to causing autism among other things.- esp when multiple vaccinations are given to a small baby. then just before, they go to school, these vaccinations are mandated prior to schooling.

Even the yearly flu vaccine is questionable.This year's vaccine is useless for next year. As the bug for this year has mutated for next yr. Sometimes, the vaccination cause a person to become more ill rather than the illness itself. I was so scik as a dog when i received the flu shot in one arm and the Pneumococal vaccine on the other arm.

Germs on the whole are constantly mutating and becoming more drug resistant as antibiotics are used liberally.

The rotavirus vaccine was stopped after one child died and many others reported serious intestinal problems following its use.

A rapid rise in autism may be connected to the MMR vaccine and the mercury found in several vaccines.

We may be overvaccinating our children today. Once considered a godsend, vaccines are now felt by some to be associated with dramatic increases in brain and autoimmune diseases such as autism, asthma, diabetes, learning disabilities, and ADHD

If the public were fully informed of all the ingredients that go into flu shots, there would be a mass outrage against them

Answer 3

When vaccinating a child for anything, it can affect a child's immune system. Some parents are concerned about what is in the serum their children are given. It is proven that although vaccinations keep children from getting what they were vaccinated against iit can cause other health issues.

There is no perfect way to deal with this. It is a much debated subject.

Answer 4

Some people think that there is a chemical in some vaccines that is linked to autism. There hasn't been very much evidence to prove this is true but there also hasn't been much evidence to prove it's wrong either.

Some people also perfer their child to get the disease (like chicken pox) because the immunity built up against it will be stronger than getting a vaccination.

Answer 5

Some people are against vaccinations due to religious beliefs. Also, some people may be allergic to the ingredients (like flu vaccines contain egg products).

Answer 6

some people believe that it causes autism when in reality there is no proof.
