unvaccinated children, but their is one study from the 1990’s. The study showed that children who were vaccinated were more likely to suffer from ear infections, asthma, and other conditions than those who were not vaccinated. The reason they say that they do not want to study the effects of vaccinated children and unvaccinated children is because it would be wrong, that if the unvaccinated children became sick they would be to blame. How about the children who become sick from vaccinations? Are not they to blame for causing the sickness? The real reason governments do not want to do particular studies like that is because it would show that those who were vaccinated were more prone to develop those conditions listed above. New Zealand was the only government who performed this study. Christian England reports on Dr. Andreas Bachair study, “Their study found the prevalence of sinusitis, warts, skin problems and middle ear infections were also much lower in the unvaccinated children, as were the cases of diabetes and epilepsy. She went on to say that the results demonstrated that the prevalence of many conditions in the unvaccinated children were also significantly lower.” The study also showed that the children who were unvaccinated were less common with conditions like anxiety, depression, dyslexia, etc. New Zealand was not blamed for putting unvaccinated children at risk but instead they shined the light on the truth that children who were unvaccinated seemed more healthier and less likely to contract different

    adds that vaccinations are not a one-size-fits-all approach, although the vaccination schedule is required by law. “The vaccination schedule is the same for every U.S. child, even though it 's well known that all children are not the same biologically.” This article also adds an additional frame regarding the overall safety of vaccines, mentioning current scientific evidence is not sufficient enough to determine the safety of vaccines. Additionally, the frame also mentions that many of the current available studies are biased.

    Sometimes other personal or religious beliefs persuade parents to skip immunizations. Parents, health care specialists, nurses, teachers and children all have an important stake in this issue. Parents argue that it is they who should have the ultimate decision-making right on whether or not to vaccinate their children. Nurses and healthcare officials oppose that view on…

    When A Parent’s Business Becomes Everyone’s Business: Why Canada should Mandate a Vaccination Policy Vaccinations are one of history’s most cost efficient and effective medical achievements for preventing serious diseases.

    The vaccination program in Australia is a major public health initiative protecting the physical wellbeing and caring for the lives of the population of Australia. The Royal College of Pathologists of Australia in a fact file published in August 2013 stated, 'Tens of thousands of deaths of Australian children were prevented, during the 20th century, by form of immunisation, and the benefits have been companioned by the launch of newer vaccines. Rotavirus vaccine has reduced hospital admittance and deaths from infant diarrhoea, hepatitis B and human papilloma virus vaccines have protected thousands of adults from liver and cervical cancer, and many others have prevented infections in travellers or people who are at risk of exposure to foreign infections.’ The fact file then reviews the successfulness of the current Australian vaccination schedule in reducing the incidence of a range of diseases and concluded 'Safe and effective vaccines have saved the lives of millions of children, worldwide, and will continue to do so as long as immunisation programs are maintained, given, and up…

    Over the past few years, there has been debate over vaccinating children. Many people believe the invalid study that was conducted by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 which linked vaccinations to autism. Others refuse to vaccinate because of toxins in vaccines. This movement against vaccination could potentially lead to a large scale outbreak of diseases that were once thought to be on the path to eradication. I believe that all school aged children should be required to be vaccinated.…

    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 health of the global population should always come before all else, considering that a person must be alive in order to hold religious or moral beliefs (Parkins 440). Choosing not to vaccinate a child effects not only that child, but also everyone around him or her. For example, Gillian Hodge, a mother from Virginia, had to endure a grueling 30-day quarantine after her newborn baby girl caught measles at her doctor’s office (Parkins 439). Baby Mackenzie, who was too young to receive her MMR vaccine, caught measles from an unvaccinated child. She was then quarantined so that she would not spread the highly contagious disease (Parkins 439).…

    Also, those who cannot be vaccinated or receive exemptions can rely on those around them to prevent them from contracting the disease, known as “herd immunity”. A community promoting the unsafe effects of vaccines are more likely to contract a disease due to the fact that they are not immune to the diseases. In 2010, a whooping cough outbreak swept the youths of southern California who had not been vaccinated.13 This proves that it is not always safe to rely on herd immunity in a community. The number of parents who aren 't vaccinating their children has grown sufficiently abundant that it may be fueling more dangerous outbreaks of diseases.…

    However, there is too much evidence to support such claims of injury to ignore the risks. So whom can parents believe, and how can they decide whether to vaccinate their children? Is it possible that problems caused by vaccines could be as dangerous as the diseases they are designed to prevent? Further, there is serious question over conflict of interest in the granting of legal immunity to pharmaceutical manufacturers and medical practitioners, both of whom make a lot of money from immunizations. Vaccines played a role in eradicating or nearly eradicating some of the world’s most deadly diseases and epidemics.…
