Some people have different opinions when it comes to deciding if children should get vaccinated or not. There are both pros and cons to getting children vaccinated, some of the pros are that it can help get rid of any type of bacteria that may be building up inside a child’s body. A con is that vaccines can sometimes cause serious and even fatal side effects. However, overall vaccinations and getting children vaccinated would be the best way to go. it’s better to be thankful now than to be sorry later. Vaccinations are the best way to keep children from being vulnerable to diseases or viruses. One of the main reasons why a person should get their child vaccinated is that vaccinations can save your child’s life. (Vaccines.com) By going to the doctor and…
My topic is over vaccines in the United States and how we need them to keep our country healthy. My main points are the reasons we have them, the health benefits of the vaccines, and the safety concerns about when we don’t have routine vaccines.…
People are current taking action against vaccinations and joining the anti-vaccination movement. Although research proves anti-immunization increases disease rates, parents stand firm in their believe that their children should not be vaccinated. This paper briefly discusses the reasoning behind their notion and the substantial fact about vaccinations. It then provides facts behind their judgment and consequences of…
The media is the single most controlling force behind mass public opinions and beliefs, it is there everyday influencing and informing people on current events and political ideas. It is how the media portrays the vaccine debate and its advocates of both sides, that will be informing the public and influencing the public's understanding of the vaccine controversy (Haertlein 225). According to Georgina Cairns, “Information is filtered, interpreted, and potentially distorted by receivers’ personal values and concerns,” (1555); the media portrayal of the negative and positive impacts of vaccines is often centered around the tendency of people in panic or anxiety about the debate, to invest their attention away from the positive information and…
Should childhood vaccination be mandatory? Vaccination protects your child from preventable diseases and will keep your child healthy. In this day and time, there are many diseases that are preventable with a safe and effective vaccine that has been FDA approved. In any vaccination there are some risks you are taking because some children have reactions to the vaccine. Many parents do not realize the effects of not vaccinating their child. This can cause serious risks and even put the child’s life in jeopardy. When a person chooses not to vaccinate a child, this can cause effects on their immune system and even long term issues.…
Thanks to technology and research, vaccines have kept serious diseases from becoming epidemic illnesses, unlike many years ago. When children are vaccinated, the chances of contracting the disease being vaccinated for are decreased drastically. Every child should be immunized to protect themselves and the people around them from these deadly diseases. The best way to prevent preventable diseases is to have an immune population. We can achieve this by simply vaccinating our children.…
Vaccines are responsible for minimizing the risk of many deadly diseases and even eradicating some completely. People today are privileged enough to live during a time where the fear of dying from a disease like measles or smallpox is negligible. Even so vaccines are not without dissenters. There is a segment of humanity that believes there is a credible association between vaccines and rising autism rates. The following articles will show that there are varying ideas on the best way to disprove vaccination opponents, yet no solid solution has been reached on how to convince vaccination opponents that their fears are unfounded.…
Although a lot of people believe that vaccinations aren’t always the best thing to turn to and also believe that they make patients prone to the specific sickness, vaccine-preventable diseases haven’t gone away. In a time when people can travel across the world, it’s not hard to see how easy it is to contract diseases from all over the world. Vaccines are just as important to your health then just healthy foods such as a diet and exercise, but they can also mean the difference between life and death.…
When it comes to vaccinations, there are many different opinions on immunizing a child, especially when that child’s parent has a strong like or dislike towards vaccinating. Immunizations have been around for at least a thousand years and as technology advances more, there are new vaccines being designed to help protect our children from contracting contagious and sometimes deadly diseases, such as Bordetella pertussis, polio, and even influenza. For decades, all 50 states have required that parents vaccinate their children against various diseases, including polio and measles, as a prerequisite to enrolling them in public schools (Ciolli, 2008). Enrollment in public school requires up to date vaccinations in order to protect the children and even the adults from contracting and spreading a disease, possibly causing an epidemic. Although all public schools require immunizations, there are still children in the schools whose religion exempts the use of vaccinations. The goal of this paper is to further explain…
The modern medicine really made a significant contribution to our society. Vaccines can prevent a disease from occurring in the first place, rather than attempt to cure it after the fact. The invention of the vaccines prevents people from being infected. There are three benefits of vaccines, prevent the diseases in the childhood, protect the community and much cheaper than getting the treatment.…
I believe everyone should be vaccinated in their life and here is why. Vaccines cause your immune system to produce disease-fighting antibodies without causing the disease itself. Today, more than 20 serious human diseases can be prevented by vaccination. For some diseases, you need to be vaccinated only once in your life. For other diseases, such as measles, tetanus, and influenza, you may need to be vaccinated at regular intervals.…
A last major political goal for our party is to mandate vaccinations for our children. In a recent poll, 28% of voters voted no in their children being vaccinated for preventable diseases.…
Bill Gates said it perfectly when he was quoted, “So it's an absolute lie that has killed thousands of kids. Because the mothers who heard that lie, many of them didn't have their kids take either pertussis or measles vaccine, and their children are dead today. And so the people who go and engage in those anti-vaccine efforts -- you know, they, they kill children. It's a very sad thing, because these vaccines are important.” The reason why weather or not to vaccinate is such a big debate is parents feel it is a personal choice to vaccinate their children and shouldn't be mandated, while others feel that not vaccinating actually puts children in harm's way. Parents read and hear misleading things about vaccines and fear their children…
Some people are strongly against vaccinating their children. They feel it is unsafe and can even lead to autism. There have been many reported cases where vaccines have actually done a lot of harm. As the amount of vaccines being administered to children has risen, so has the percentage of children with autism. This is ground-breaking evidence to the anti-vaccine movement. They assume that the more vaccines a child receives, the higher they go up on the autism spectrum. It is believed that a child starts to show signs of autism around the time they are receiving an abundance of vaccinations. In addition to autism, they claim that it is too dangerous to inject infants with such harsh viruses and bacteria. They can not fight this off properly,…
To think that a vaccine can save a community is to believe that a single grain of rice can end world hunger. Sure, if everyone was to be vaccinated, perhaps there would be a difference. However, the reality is this is not the case. Several people believe that kids who are not vaccinated impose health threats on kids who have been vaccinated. This belief is flawed because the kids with the vaccines are the ones who are bringing the viruses into our schools. The vaccines carry the very virus that they are supposed to protect kids from. An additional factor that must be considered when looking at the big picture is that the superintendent's forcing parents to get their children vaccinated is the groups that fail to do so.…
