Vaccination Pros And Cons

Improved Essays
In America, it is the norm for everyone to be one hundred percent vaccinated. United States citizens live in a country that claims to be a democracy, then somehow urges us to execute activities and trick us into believing they are always correct and trustworthy. For example, the United States government is slowly and secretly trying to assemble a requirement for everyone to get every vaccination. Here’s how they accomplish this: The pharmaceutical companies that develop and produce the recommended vaccinations and medications, donate millions of dollars to the FDA. In 2014 their donations made up 94% of the FDA’s total budget, which ended up equaling 4.7 billion dollars (Mercola). The FDA is the Food and Drug Administration, which is an agency …show more content…
A suitable resource would be the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s webpage; it should list every vaccination they recommend and all the ingredients contained within them. Although research has shown that they list all the ingredients, they do not list the actual amounts contained. In addition, another thing to look at on the CDC’s webpage is that they list the recommended amounts of toxins, like aluminum, on their page. The FDA approved, listed amounts completely contradict their recommended vaccinations, due to the amount of toxins actually found in them. An excellent example of this is the hepatitis B vaccination, which is generally given to all infants immediately following their birth. A healthy, eight-pound baby can safely have 18.16mcg of aluminum in their bodies; the hepatitis B shot contains 250mcg, this vaccine alone equals close to 14 times the level of aluminum that is FDA approved for their age (Vaccine Ingredients). Another example is that at the well-child checkups at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc. They usually push up to eight vaccinations that reach over 1,000 mcg of aluminum; a 350-pound adult should only have 794.5mcg (Vaccine Ingredients). In conclusion, the CDC is listing the FDA approved vaccinations that object with the levels that …show more content…
The trend of receiving chiropractic care is becoming beyond prevalent in todays society. Those who obtain frequent appointments, to get what chiropractors call an adjustment, have reported that it improves: back pain, headaches, ear infections, neck pain, arthritis and joint pain, scoliosis, asthma, blood pressure, and organ function. Patients have also found that it increases their odds of having a healthy pregnancy, and increases the likelihood of preventing surgery. Chiropractors pride themselves on being a natural, drugless option for their patient’s to pursue (10 Researched). In addition to chiropractic care, individuals can seek out a naturopathic doctor. This type of physician focuses on helping your body treat itself rather than prescribing medication for minimal problems. ND’s have the training to utilize prescription drugs, nonetheless they avoid them and emphasis the natural solutions (What is). ND’s usually get to know their patients health history, stress levels, tobacco and alcohol use, and diet, to understand what could be contributing to their pain or illness and treat the problem (What is). Regardless of the fact that chiropractors and naturopathic doctors both receive a doctorate degree, most insurance policies do not cover them. For example, ObamaCare will only cover thirty

    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.

    “Should children have to be vaccinated to attend school?” (Lemons, 2016, p. 185). This statement is the prescriptive issue that Jane Fullerton Lemons, writer for the 2008 CQ Researcher posits in her report on “Vaccine Controversies.” In order to get both sides of the issue, Lemons obtained a testimony from Amy Pisani, Executive Director of Every Child By Two, and a rebuttal from Barbra L. Fisher, President of National Vaccine Information Center. Initially, my thought was to side with Fisher, but with further reading I 've concluded that Pisani had the stronger argument, despite the weaknesses given throughout.…

    The most effective method of ensuring that parents get their children vaccinated is the requirement of an up-to-date immunization records before children can join or attend any public schooling institutions or licensed day care facilities. The problem with this however is that every state except Mississippi and West Virginia allows children to be exempted from vaccination for religious reasons. Vaccine-preventable diseases, such as whooping cough, diphtheria, hepatitis, measles, poliomyelitis, human papillomavirus, and mumps are still a threat that results in the hospitalization of many children in the U.S. This, therefore, calls for the need for the federal governments to ensure that all children born receive…

    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).…

    Mandatory Vaccinations Childhood immunizations are supposed to protect children from life threatening illness, but in light of the fairly recent findings regarding vaccine additives and the side effects they cause, parents should have a choice on whether or not to vaccinate their children. Recent FDA documents admit that vaccines are linked to autism. An insert sheet for the Tripedia (Dtap) vaccine, openly admits to this vaccine being linked to autism along with a plethora of other horrible side effects, including SIDS (Tripedia Vaccine, 2012). In June of 2000, members from the CDC, FDA, and pharmaceutical companies had a secret meeting to discuss the relationship between thimerosal and autism. The transcripts of this meeting were obtained…

    Vaccinations, a mandatory process all kids need to complete in order to stay in schools. While there are laws that mandate the need for vaccinations, there are those who oppose them. Lately there has been a real uproar about vaccinations, making them seem controversial; like it infringes on their rights and how the vaccinations are just for profit and their main driving force creates autism and or permanent damages in children. Given these counter clams I believe they miss the point of why vaccinations are essential which are to keep every child safe, to stop outbreaks and keep morality rates down.…

    Lindsey Tanner, author of “More Parents Refusing to Have Children Vaccinated,” explains that according to a national survey every 1 in 10 parents decide against vaccinating or choose to follow an alternative immunization schedule than the one provided by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention vaccine schedule, children should be vaccinated for 14 different diseases by age 6. That can take up to 29 shots, with as many as 6 shots at a time” (Reddy D1). When children are injected with a vaccine their body creates anti-bodies that fight the diseases; however, due to the amount of injections numerous parents feel overwhelmed and fear for the safety of their children.…
