Rebecca Mills Mr. King 8LA 23 May 2016 Why Emergency Kits are Important to Have in any Natural Disaster Emergency survival kits have been used for centuries to protect people from natural disasters. Most people use emergency kits in natural disasters to keep them safe primarily. However, there are also people who do not use kits because they do not think that they will ever need one because they have never experienced a natural disaster. Emergency survival kits are important in any natural…

Kids who have been exposed to pesticides have an increased cancer risk. Parents shouldn’t use those chemicals near children. “They are designed to kill Organisms” said Chensheng Lu of Harvard University. They should also avoid using them where kids play and spend allot of time. They could really cause different diseases to kids. One of the Diseases the Pesticides have increased the chance of kids getting is Leukemia. They just aren’t healthy for kids! Evidence Researchers have studied that…

Immunizations should be mandatory in the United States because they save lives. According to New York State, “Everyone six months and older should get a seasonal flu vaccine every year. It’s important to reiterate that every year children still die as a result of having the flu” (The Harm of Skipping Vaccinations or Delaying). There are many diseases that can be caught from simple contact and even airborne. In order to prevent such discomfort or even death, vaccines for immunizations should be…

The author of Deadly Choices, Paul Offit, explores from the anti-vaccine movement’s origins through the impacts it has on society today. He argues against anti-vaccination due to the threat it poses not only on our children, but to society as a whole. With the breakthroughs science has had in terms of treating infectious diseases, he claims that there should be close to zero outbreaks of common illnesses. After giving background on vaccines, Offit offers up some solutions, even solutions that…

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,…
