why some people consider vaccination harmful?specially for children?

Answer 1

I was at my children's Pediatrician just this week. My boys both had to get shots. My 5 year old had to get four of them and my 15 month old had to get two of them. I spoke with her about this autism scare. She has two girls, about the same ages as our boys and she said that her girls are getting vaccinated and this autism scare is just that, a scare. There was a newspaper article on the wall saying that my state had a huge outbreak of the measles in 2005 due to the fact that some parents were refusing to get their children vaccinated. Also, polio is practically non existent due to vaccinations.
At this point, I am going to trust my Pediatrician. She has been fabulous for us since Son number one.

Answer 2

There are a lot of misconceptions about vaccines and mostly people are afraid of what they don't understand.

It was true that once upon a time, thymerisol was used as a preservative. Thymerisol contains a tiny amount of mercury. Drug companies haven't used this stuff for years.

Vaccines are generally made from killed virus, or from part of the virus' protein coat. The idea is to activate the body's immune system with an agent that, itself, can't cause the disease. There are a very few live virus vaccines out there; polio is one of them. One form of the polio vaccine uses a weakened virus. It's why unimmunized parents must be very careful when changing diapers on a baby that has recently been vaccinated with live virus polio.

As for the rest of it - there are no studies that demonstrate higher incidence of autism in the vaccinated population. Some people do have allergic reactions to vaccines - some vaccines are grown in eggs for instance. But allergic reactions are not a reason to not vaccinate.

Answer 3

I do not know about others, but I believe it to be harmful because of all the toxic ingredients. There is still mercury in some of the vaccines, and also formaldehyde... Also the amount that they are giving at once has dramatically increased over the years. They are giving up to 5 vaccines at one visit... that is too much for a small baby. Some of the vaccines are not even necessary. The chicken pox? What is the reason for that, I had chicken pox, and developed natural immunity. Children's bodies can not handle the assault of all the toxins and viruses....

Answer 4

Here are a few reasons why I choose not to vaccinate:

A person would not normally contract 5 diseases at one time naturally, yet at 2, 4 and 6 mth. visits a baby is injected with five vaccines.

There is no proof that vaccines are responsible for the decline in certain diseases - improved sanitation, medical care and less crowding may also have contributed to the decline in certain diseases. Most diseases decreased by over 95% BEFORE the introduction of vaccines.

By vaccinating children, many cases of certain diseases (ex. measles, chicken pox) have now shifted to the adult population where the disease is often more serious and debilitating.

Vaccines have not been tested for any possible carcinogenic (cancer causing), teratogenic (gene altering) effects or their effects on the reproductive system (it says this right in the product inserts from the manufacturers).

Vaccines are not 100% effective so the child can still get the disease even if they are vaccinated and a child can actually get a disease sometimes from the vaccine if it is a live vaccine.

After researching many of the diseases(like measles, mumps and polio), I found they are not as scary as the media hyped them to be, especially for a healthy immune system. Example: Polio is 90% asymptomatic.

The same amount of vaccine that is given to a 4 yr. old is given to an 18 mth. old and a 2 mth. old, etc.

I beleive the chance of dying or getting a serious side effect from the actual disease is much less than the chance of dying or getting an adverse reaction from the vaccine. The dieseases are not dangerous or deadly in most people.

I believe that injecting my children with things such as formaldehyde, mercury (trace amounts), aluminium, paint thinner, coolant, anti-freeze, detergent phenols, MSG, plus dead animal tissue, aborted fetus tissue, mutated human and animal viruses, bacteria, antibiotics and animal, bacterial and viral DNA, is not particularly a good idea.

Answer 5

Usually it is ignorance and i don't mean it in a bad way. People should not believe everything they see on the news or in the newspaper. Many people think that the chances of a harmful effect from a vaccination are common, this cannot be further from the truth. Most reactions are a sore arm, cold or flu symptoms and trivial. The fact is it is much more harmful not to be properly vaccinated. Many vaccines use a live virus/organism but the amount is so low that it cannot cause any problem. Many others use inactive forms of the virus.Vaccines basically expose your immune system to a virus so it can recognise it in future and put up the defences before it can infect you. You are a about 1,500,000 times more likely to die from an illness than to die from the vaccination itself. Yes there are negative effects in an extremely small percentage of the population but put it into perspective, millions or people died or were crippled by measles, mumps, rubella, tetnus, polio etc... How many people do you know that have had a serious reaction to a vaccine?

Answer 6

Because a vaccination is nothing more than a weakened form of the virus that will not infect you, but cause your body to build up an immunity to it in the event of actual exposure. However, there can sometimes be side effects related to the type of vaccine you are getting. They tend to be more prevalent in children because of their younger immune systems, but this makes some people paranoid when there is nothing really to worry about.

Answer 7

1. Less information or informed consent.
Like for example the first guy who answer you (but i didn't gave her thumb down). It's true some of vaccine contain timerosal which can probably cause autism, even though researcher already said those vaccine are safe, etc...etc....

2. And, Europe people are slow accelerator (Asia are fast accelerator), that's make European people vulnerable to drugs side effect.

No offense, okay.

Answer 8

There are reports that some children have died, gone into comas, or left as complete invalids after receiving vaccinations. These reactions are thankfully rare. There is a book by a self described "expert" and unabashed animal rights wacko from PETA named Robert Cohen titled "Vaccines, The Deadly Poison". Just one in a series of "fill in the blank, The Deadly Poison" books by the idiot. And people just eat that stuff up.

Answer 9

Hello,
Vaccinating in the process by which actually injecting a small portion of the said virus into your system. i.e., if getting a vaccination for influenza, they'd inject a tiny portion of influenza into your system so that your immune system will fight it off to prevent you from getting it. There are risks attributed with them, for example if you're allergic to the virus, it won't go well :). That's why it's even more risky in children, it's harder to sell what they are and aren't allergic to.

Answer 10

Vaccines contain a perservative which some people think causes autism and/or developmental problems in children. There is not any credible scientific evidence to back up such claims.
