In “Varicella Vaccination Program Success” by Steven Novella, the author argues about the people who does not believe in vaccines and how are their arguments formulated. They ignore all the information and statitistics and focus on the smaller problems caused in the investigation, to assure that vaccines are not effective and riskful. However, besides all this, the author states at the end that we should follow more closely the vaccines programs and know that they are useful with the proper…

In this paper, I wanted to review “Smallpox in Washington's Army: Strategic Implications of the Disease during the American Revolutionary War” by Ann M. Becker. Smallpox was an infection. Many people were dead if they contact with people who had smallpox. Fortunately, we had the treatment to heal the smallpox today by receiving inoculation and it was not a threat anymore. From this article, I understood that smallpox was a problem for American’s soldiers to face during the Revolutionary War. In…

In “Aluminum in Vaccines: A Neurological Gamble” by Neil Z. Miller, he discusses the chemicals in vaccines and how he believes it is dangerous. Vaccines are drugs that can contain antigens, preservatives, adjuvants, stabilizers, antibiotics, buffers, diluents, emulsifiers, and inactivating chemicals. They also contain residue from animal and human growth mediums. Today, children receive one vaccine at birth, eight vaccines at two months, eight vaccines at four months, nine vaccines at six months…

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? Vaccines are made up of a weakened or dead form of the bacteria or virus of the disease. When the vaccine is injected, the immune system detects it and reacts as if it was real. The body begins to make antibodies against it and leaves behind memory cells. They are ready to fight against the actual infectious organism.…

There are so many sexual transmitted diseases (STD) out there in today’s day and time, to pick just one to write about or learn more about is hard. As I looked down the list of STD’s, I shuttered just thinking about reading and writing on each. Then I thought of teaching my son about these and figured HPV might be a good one but there is a vaccine now to help that, a vaccine in which he is in the process of receiving the shots for now. However, herpes, as far as I think anyways, is one of the…

To whom it may concern, I am writing this letter concerning the topic of vaccinations and permitting religious and philosophical objections to our current laws and recommendations. It is my personal opinion that laws on vaccinations should be tighten and enforced. Families that choose not vaccinate their children, should have some type of punishment that would give those said families a little more of a push to vaccinate their children. I believe that we should do vaccinations at the school,…

The Editorial Board of The New York Times wrote an article titled, “The Anti-Vaccine Movement Gains a Friend in the White House”, which was published in the newspaper on February 23, 2017. The purpose of the article being written was to respond to Robert Kennedy Junior’s statement that Donald Trump will make him the head of a new committee dedicated to vaccine safety. Trump has frequently expressed his notions on vaccines, and their connection to autism. In addition, Kennedy Jr. is a proponent…

Getting a shot is every child’s worst nightmare, let alone two or three. Lucky for the new generation, researchers at MIT think they have found a way to put all the required vaccines into a single shot. This idea could change the way children view shots. Parents would not have to worry about dragging their child into the doctor more than once. I think this is a great breakthrough, and it will change a lot in the future. The researchers at MIT tested a new vaccine that holds all of the…

I was amazed by the history of penicillin that Dr. Odegard had informed us. I knew about penicillin, but I have never thought of the fact how significant role penicillin played in our lives. Before penicillin was discovered, people could die of infections, even minor ones, such as mosquito bites. I am truly surprised, and I have never thought about that we humans were in a time where we were afraid of dying because of minor things like mosquito bites. Additionally, the more surprising thing is…

flu vaccine, who can and cannot get the vaccine and benefits of obtaining the vaccination. If the patient expresses concern about getting the vaccine because they heard they could develop the flu by being immunized with the inactivated strength of influenza, I will be able to answer that other than experiencing a sore arm this vaccine has a similar side effect profile than placebo. Through clinical support information provided once the patient gains confidence and agrees to vaccination I will…
