I choose to talk about the Immunization study I think it caused the most harm especially on the kids whose parents refused to vaccinate. Most these will end up developing scars that will be part of their everyday lives. Wakefield and his colleagues used innocent children as their Guinea pigs and that was really awful. I was really glad to see that the Lancet after finding out what Wakefield and his colleagues did retracted their research form their paper. Bu I guess the harm had already been done .Because…
In the Washington post article titled, ‘Get Kids Vaccinated or Else, Parents Told’ it talks about how there were more than 2,300 students who had not received the state required vaccinations to allow their students into the school system. In Prince George’s county, the students are required to receive vaccines for the chicken pox and hepatitis B to go to school, the county reached out to all the parents and tried to inform the parents of the severity of the situation. After the deadline of the vaccinations, the county sent letters to the parents insisting that they are required to come to a circuit meeting to have a court hearing an a chance to have a free vaccination for their child, if the parents did not come, they will be fined at least $50 and up to 10 days in jail. The county had to use legal measures to enforce the vaccinations of the…
The United States is known to be a great country because of our freedom to have our beliefs and values. Our nation has become this great land that at times is overwhelming. Our government has progressed since our founding fathers. The problem lies on how much power the government has. Immunizations are one of the many things that the American people have no voice in, even though vaccinations on children have been a big controversy to many Americans because of the side effects they might have caused.…
On September 1, 2011, Matthew F. Daley and Jason M. Glanz wrote an article named “Straight Talk about Vaccination.” Both authors touch topics on how unvaccinated children pose a great risk to everyone's general well being. Daley and Glanz cover statistics that show there has been more outbreaks of easily preventable diseases since parents have chosen to not vaccinate their children. It is with great belief the high number of unvaccinated children attending school can continue the trend of severe outbreaks. The anti-vaccination movement began in 1998 when parents felt paranoid about the side effects of receiving current vaccinations.…
The article “California Set to Mandate Childhood Vaccines Amid Intense Fight” is an informational piece about how the state of California was getting ready to vote on SB 772, which was passed on June 30th, 2015. SB 772 is a California State Senate Bill that eliminated the ability of parents to opt out of getting their children vaccinated for religious or personal reasons. If parents don’t have their children get vaccinated they can’t go to public, charter, or private schools. Children who currently attend schools but are not vaccinated are allowed continue to go to school, but they must get vaccinated before kindergarten and seventh grade. The bill was spurred on by the measles outbreak in Disneyland, earlier this year.…
When Does the Regulation of Vaccinations Go Too Far? When talking about vaccinations, the morality of individuals is one factor taken into consideration. There has been controversy regarding vaccinations causing autism, whether natural immunity is better than vaccine acquired immunity, why vaccines aren’t 100% effective, and what effects religious views have on the distribution of vaccinations. These questions tend to have difficult answers or none at all because they are based on the ethics of the individual.…
When it comes to eliminating the problem, one would think that a resolution would be mandatory vaccination laws. Although there are no mandatory vaccination laws, there are state and local vaccination requirements that are enforced to increase the compliance with vaccinations. These requirements for entry into daycare and school are important tools for preserving the high vaccination coverage rates which lower rates of vaccine-preventable diseases. State laws establish vaccination requirements and requirements apply to children attending public and private schools and those attending day care facilities. Every state provides exemptions for medical purposes.…
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.…
Vaccinations are given to young children at an early age, which puts them at an increased risk of getting a disease. Children are receiving a multitude of vaccine doses, putting them at a higher risk of developing any type of disease. Many parents refuse to vaccinate their children, due to the fact that vaccines may cause side effects. Other parents choose to vaccinate their children to protect them from serious illnesses, including measles, whooping cough, and mumps. These are life threatening disease, and parents want to do everything that is possible to make sure their children are healthy and protected from preventable disease.…
Get your Children Vaccinated As a parent they always want to do what they think is best for their children, but they don’t always think about the consequences for not only their children but also the children and adults around them. Neglecting to and opting out of vaccinating their child not only puts them at risk but all the children, infants and adults around them as well. Vaccinations were created to protect from various diseases such as measles, small pox and the common flu. While in most states vaccinations are not required, not vaccinating children makes it easier for these diseases to take over their weak immune systems and cause serious issues that could have been avoided if vaccinated. “Due to the high rate of influenza infection…
The Fear Of Needles Vaccinations have been around since the late 18th century with the introduction of the smallpox vaccination. They prevent many illnesses from being contracted every year. There are studies showing that autism may be caused from vaccinations. Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD, is a developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact with others. There are more than 200,000 cases in the United States per year.…
In todays society it is becoming a norm and trend for parents choosing not to vaccinate their children. Disregarding any laws or requirements by schools. They claim that these vaccinations cause other illnesses like autism and vaccination goes against their religion and personal beliefs. These vaccines help prevent and immunize children from measles, small pox, whooping cough, and various other diseases that might cause an epidemic in their community. California has seen many outbreaks in disease in the past decade, a spread of disease that could have been prevented by the vaccination of children.…
Child Vaccinations Every parent would want their child to be happy, healthy, and do the best for them. This is possible through vaccinations. How exactly do vaccines work?…
Jerlany Diaz Professor Brunk ENC 1101 21st November 2016 Why Parents Should Vaccinate Their Children Smallpox and polio have been wiped out in the United States. Cases of measles, mumps, tetanus, whooping cough and other life-threatening illnesses have been reduced by more than ninety- five percent. Immunizations prevent tens of thousands of deaths annually among elderly persons and those who are chronically ill (Meadows).…

In this paper we will use scientific based evidence to explore the benefits, risks, and myths associated with vaccinations.…
