The abstract discusses how the authors examined the effects “of vaccination for diphtheria; polio; pertussis and tetanus; or measles, mumps, and rubella on the incidence of physician-diagnosed asthma and eczema.” (McKeever, T. M., Lewis, S. A., Smith, C., & Hubbard, R., 2004) In their findings, they stated that the “association between vaccination and the development of allergic disease...was present…

vaccination have become commonplace in this day and age. Within the first year of a child’s life it is recommended that they be given vaccinations that cover a wide range of illness such as tetanus and Hep B vaccination or the more commonly known measles, rubella and mumps vaccination or MMR vaccine for short. (find note) However in the most recent years there has been a movement to not have children vaccinated for various reasons, such as people believing that the some vaccines had been found…

Change is important for safety and growth. Many people died from measles in the past prior to the invention of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Measles is highly contagious and can spread rapidly. Across the world, approximately 20 million people are diagnosed and 146,000 people die yearly from this disease. Without change, a vaccine would not have been developed resulting in millions instead of thousands of deaths yearly (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). In…

disorder. The second theory that has been disproved about the causation of autism spectrum disorder is vaccines. It has been thought in the recent years that childhood vaccines have been the main cause of autism, particularly the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine as well as thimerosal-containing vaccines (DeStefano, F., Price, C. S., Weintraub, E. S., 2013). Due to the increase in the amount of vaccines children get, starting with infancy and the rise in the amount of diagnoses of autism…

These tests can screen for genetic defects like Down Syndrome, diseases like rubella, and malformations like spina bifida. There are various other prenatal tests that can detect problems in the fetus. Technologies such has ultrasounds, that weren’t around years ago allow doctors to see a baby’s development in the womb. Through…

The solar system is a vast and wondrous place. There are many things to explore and things that still need to be discovered. So much money is going to space exploration and organizations such as NASA, and less is going to organizations that need it like American Legion, and Make A Wish Foundation. Going into space allows scientists to discover new things and possibly new worlds, but the earth needs to be taken care of first, before going out and discovering a place where oxygen can even be…

In the twentieth century, every year Diphtheria killed 21,053 people, measles killed 530,217 people, mumps killed 162,344 people, rubella killed 47,745 people, and Hib killed 20,000 people in the United States. By 2012 every disease listed was decreased by 99% because of vaccinations (“Should Any Vaccinations” par. 9). Some of these diseases have even been completely eradicated, like…

Autism Autism is a disorder that affects how someone communicates and interacts with others. Some causes for this disorder are problems in the nervous system, rubella in the pregnant mother, or some just think there is no cause for autistic kids. To understand autism, we need to understand the symptoms, treatments, and what it is like to live with it. Autism is a disorder were kids have a difficulty communicating and forming relationships with other people, but more males get affected than…

Vaccination for kids has become a controversial argument among parents and doctors; the academic argument published by Vaccines.gov supports vaccinations for kids, appealing to the logical part of the brain by publishing facts, statistics and successes. Intended to persuade parents of young children to consider vaccinations, this argument publishes facts and statistics to get parents thinking positively about vaccines. They reach out to people through other sources such as the CDC. This argument…

“The original claim, based loosely on a small group of isolated children in the United Kingdom (UK), argued that the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination (MMR) contained toxins that that could penetrate the gastrointestinal tract, eventually affecting the central nervous system (CNS) and the brain (Wakefield et al., 1998). Since then, the study has been replicated in a variety of individuals…
