Vaccines

High fevers, rashes, miserable coughs, and possibility of blindness or even death.Since the measle/ mumps/ rubella vaccine was invented these viruses have become a thing of the past as no one can list the risks and symptoms. However this preventative measure has been used less and less within Ashland, Oregon, which can also cause outbreaks to occur. A cluster of Ashland parents have chosen not to immunize their children, creating a dangerous community brewing with viruses ready to erupt.…

Affairs titled Confidence about vaccines in the United States: understanding parents’ perceptions states that the last ten years raised many controversies powered by parents using social media on whether to be pro or con vaccines. The article also names some of the valid concerns and questions parents have. The article names a few of those concerns like; “the best number of injections to be administered during a single visit” or what is considered safe amount of vaccines to give “over the course…

time people refuse treatment to self or to their love one is due to a knowledge deficit. Another cause that make people to refuse the treatment is a myth from that subject. Both the knowledge deficit and the myth require a good patient education. “Vaccine refusal is increasingly common in pediatric practices, with 89% of pediatricians reporting at least 1 parental refusal per month and 10% reporting greater than a 10% refusal rate” (Bass, 2015, p. 21). First, I would educate the mother over the…

autism coincides with the rising use of the Measles Mumps and Rubella Vaccine (MMR), it is understandable how some would make this claim. Although the correlation between the two may be apparent to some, studies done cannot find enough evidence proving that the vaccination is at fault for autism (Madsen, M.D. 2002). In 1998 a study led by Andrew Wakefield suggested that there was evidence that the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine (MMR) had a direct correlation with Autism. This caused a drop…

Dear Editor, I believe that vaccines are an important and essential part of todays society because they are able to help your body to create antibodies to help you defend against the sickness, keep others from getting sicknesses in a local environment, and helping to quell outbreaks on a larger scale, country wise even. First, getting a vaccine will help your body to produce antibodies to help fight off future diseases in your body and sometimes even preventing them at all. This is done through…

The extensive use of the measles-mumps-rubella MMR vaccine has allegedly overlapped with an increase in the frequency of autism in California. The measles virus used in the MMR vaccine is a live weakened virus that normally causes no symptoms or only very mild ones. However, wild-type measles can infect the central nervous system and even cause post infectious encephalomyelitis, probably because of an immune-mediated response to myelin proteins. A population-based study of measles, mumps, and…

While five might still seem like a copious amount to few the five have been proven to be effective in the past and today. The five are; HepB, DTap, IPV, MMR, and Varicella. Each vaccine prevents viruses that America has had a struggle with in the past. The vaccine with quite possibly the most history would be IPV which was invented by Jonas Salk and prevents Polio. In the early 1950’s much of America feared the Polio virus as it caused detrimental damage to the body and…

In response to the claim that the CDC destroyed and suppressed evidence that the MMR vaccine increases the rates of autism within a certain demographic, I agree with Dr. Woolwine’s conclusion. Woolwine believes that the bulk of evidence shows that the Center for Disease Control didn’t misrepresent its findings, that it didn’t commit fraud and that none of the claims discussed that vaccines cause autism are supported. I too am not sure if Hooker was intentionally fraudulent in his paper or simply…

protected; vaccines can also save the family time and money later on in the child 's life and vaccines save those around the child from harmful viruses and diseases and should therefore be mandatory. Many people in the U.S. do not understand the meaning and positive effects of a child 's recommended vaccines. Vaccines are described by many as the best way parents can protect their child (ern) from many harmful diseases and viruses (Protect Every Age). Some parents may even ask, 'What is a…

Is your Gene Vaccine Friendly??? Since the beginning of time, humans have learned to survive. Instincts of survival led us to fight animals, survive floods and thunder storms. Moreover, this led us to believe that we could achieve solidarity by preventing dangers and preparing for disaster. Vaccines are used to prevent diseases and to stop the spread of diseases like smallpox also known as the plague (Riedel 2005). In addition, we have learned to fight other diseases like whooping cough and…
