Arguments Against Vaccines

Vaccines
Diseases, Viruses and bacteria all can make us sick but vaccines can prevent that, with its ingredients it will make your body immune to the virus. Vaccines will help with measles, Ebola and other deadly/non-lethal Diseases/viruses. I support the use of Vaccines. Kids are always homesick missing out on schoolwork and falling behind in classes(procon.org). Say a kid is home sick with the flu and he misses a few tests and one homework sheet, its his responsibility to go find his work and do it himself otherwise he will lose points but if he did get a vaccine for the flu he wouldn't have had to waste his time. Researches show that Vaccines are projected to save the lives of more than 6 million children and spare an estimated $231 billion in treatment(ProCon.org). More evidence shows that vaccines save more money. This is true because if parents are constantly buying lets say cold medicine for their kids they are losing money instead of just getting vaccines for a long term.(ProCon.org)Also if you are sick, you are probably contagious so if the other students/people get sick around you, you're making them waste time and money on medicine and fighting off the sickness(ProCon.org).

Doctors say that The vaccines contain a virus (dead virus) that will help the body understand the virus but inside the vaccine there are also some harmful ingredients but would you rather be sick from a ingredients for awhile with no lethality or would you be safe from a deadly Virus. Vaccines have also stop the spread of many diseases or viruses to a point where we rarely see them ever come up(Newsela). That shows that vaccines are

    ver since the invention of the first smallpox vaccine more than two centuries ago, there has been plenty of controversy over the morality, ethics, effectiveness, and safety of vaccination and immunization When it comes to immunizing their children, an increasing numbers of parents aren't just relying on their practitioners advice — they're making their decisions based on rumors and advice spread online through websites, message boards, and blogs. Dinner parties or playdate conversations can be enough to instill doubts about vaccine safety or the necessity of giving multiple vaccines in one shot especially for new parents. Even when the science or sources behind anti-immunization stances are proved unreliable or even completely discredited, it can be difficult for some parents to accept that vaccines are safe. How does a medical journal compete with an A list celebrity stating that their child was diagnosed with Autism after receiving an injection.…

    By the age of 16, it is recommended to have gotten around 69 doses of 16 vaccines according to the CDC vaccine schedule. Imagine having all of those doses in your bloodstream at the age of 16!

There are many groups of people who are for vaccines and who are against them that are in this argument.

    Tara, Thanks for responding to my post. You brought up an interesting point, why are we as healthcare workers mandated by most hospitals to receive the flu vaccine or be punished by wearing the dreaded mask. As a RN, I receive the annual flu vaccine through my facility, but neglect to vaccinate my teenaged daughter. My husband too has not received the vaccine in several years. I have worked with several nurses that have opted out of flu vaccinations for health reasons (allergic reactions, poor overall health, etc.) or "just because".…

    Vaccines have been around for thousands years and has progressed to help people protect and fight against infectious diseases all of history. However, people still refuse to get vaccinated knowing that it can be harmful along with making others suffer the consequences. Throughout history there has been diseases that impacted people and helped dramatically decrease the number of infections after being vaccinated for that specific disease. In the April 2015 issue of Reason, Ronald Bailey’s article of “Refusing Vaccination Puts Others at Risk,” uses examples and logos to successfully convince and prove that it should be required to make vaccinations a requirement as a result of not only putting oneself at risk but also putting others at risk. Approximated 10 million people are immuno-compromised meaning that they have a weak immune system.…

    The primary topics that have been discussed in this paper include vaccine safety, side effects and toxicity, and the need for vaccinations for diseases that appear to be eradicated. The concerns that have been raised about vaccine safety and effectiveness have all been addressed and the overwhelming evidence has been provided (Achievements in Public Heath, 1999). However, despite this evidence, theories against vaccinations by social groups often misrepresent the scientific data and are not backed by scientific logic. These concerns have led many parents to decline the recommended vaccination of their children which had led to a resurgence of diseases such as measles and pertussis in the United States (Maglione et al, 2015).…

The authors of the article writes underneath this subtitle, “Vaccines cost less in time and money to obtain than infectious diseases cost in time off of work to care for a sick child, potential long-term disability care, and medical costs.” Parents do not take into consideration the consequences of non-vaccination.…

    Vaccines save 2.5 million children from preventable diseases each year, which equates to 285 children each hour ("Should Any Vaccines Be Required for Children?"). Parents want what is best for their children to stay healthy and be shielded from avoidable diseases. Vaccines are the best way to do that (Immunization Action Coalition). Vaccinating children may come with various side effects, but it also protects others and saves lives from measles and other diseases. There are side effects and reactions that may happen to the patient, but nothing as extreme as the disease the vaccine is preventing.…

    One of the many arguments individuals against vaccines believe is that building immunity through vaccinations is not how immunization would happen in nature. They argue that the chemicals in vaccines are harmful and can potentially develop various other dangerous diseases or disabilities. Often, natural immunity can provide more complete protection from viruses than vaccines, and many parents feel more comfortable leaving immunization up to nature than to risk anything going askew. One common rumor leading to the increase in anti-vacciners is that vaccinations, and the chemicals contained inside, can lead to autism. Parents who wish to not vaccinate their children because of claims such as these would rather choose to opt out of vaccinations…

    This shows that being vaccinated could help reduce people from getting sick. Basically, the CDC suggests that when being vaccinated, it would help healthcare professionals respond to any outbreak. The CDC’s point is that this would make the healthcare professional’s job a bit easier to get vaccinated just in case of any emergency. This suggests that even being vaccinated, it would come in handy if there were ever to be an outbreak of a kind of any disease. Preventing the spread of communicable diseases through vaccination did not help most people because they are…

    Vaccines in general are safe and effective and they are the best defense we have against serious, preventable, and sometimes deadly contagious diseases, but like any other medicine, they do have side effects. Although, every states requires vaccinations for children going to public school, some parents are choosing not to vaccinate their children even when the scientific community successfully refuted claims about a link between vaccines and autism. Due to the skepticism about childhood immunizations and the recent rise in vaccine side effect fears and misinformation, some communities are becoming vulnerable for preventable illnesses like measles, mumps and chickenpox. Although exemptions vary from state to state, all school immunization laws…

    Research and studies show the possible negative outcomes for families who do not vaccinate their children, for instance a child with a vaccine-preventable disease can be denied attendance at schools or child care facilities. Also a more severe issue with not getting vaccinations is that “some vaccine-preventable diseases can result in prolonged disabilities and can take a financial toll because of lost time at work, medical bills or long-term disability care,” so if you do not get your child vaccinated they could have set backs holding them back in life financially and physically, while holding yourself back as well. In contrast, getting vaccinated against these diseases is a good investment and usually covered by insurance. “The Vaccines for Children program is a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to children from low-income families.” Because of this there really should be no argument against vaccines, but some claim vaccines are unnecessary because some diseases that vaccines target are relatively "harmless" to humans.…
