Arguments For Vaccines

key arguments that anti-vaccination supporters used in the past and how they have evolved throughout time. One of the roots of the anti-vaccination movement was the Bible, which was used by one of the founding fathers of the anti-vaccination movement to justify the dangers of vaccines (Kaufman 464). This shows that anti-vaccination supporters viewed the Bible as the ultimate source of knowledge that could rival scientific research. Although the anti vaccination has changed throughout the years and has new leadership, that does not mean its ideas have shifted. The roots of a movement often stay even if the ideas do change. As previously mentioned, the Bible and religion is a root and will likely never leave the anti-vaccination movement. This

The anti-vaccination sentiment exists worldwide, with activists arguing that vaccines are ineffective with a high risk of side effects, encouraging people to forgo immunization, including the influenza inoculation. Conversely, I wonder if these same activists would promote anti-immunization and anti-influenza inoculation to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for health care providers and medical personnel, especially countries with high infectious disease rates and high risk assessment of influenza with pandemic potential. Moreover, would these activists be willing to promote these individuals rights to perform their specialties in the United States without proper vaccinations? The answer to the question is not by any means. Nevertheless, a person deciding whether to be

The topic of getting a vaccine could cause a great deal of controversy depending on who you may discuss it with, but getting vaccinations should be a moral obligation. The members of the Anti-Vaccination Movement specifically would not fully agree with doctors and researchers claiming these vaccines to be safe.1 It is true that vaccines have a minimal chance, about 1-5% in children,2 of inducing the disease into the recipient due to it being a modified version of the disease and a fail of immunization. With the knowledge of statistics about failed immunizations and incorrect information gained from others or even the internet, it's understandable why the AVM3 is established and growing. The fear and risk of getting a vaccine for these reasons

Mandatory vaccinations should be required for all citizens in the U.S. Having mandatory vaccinations will allow for well protected future generations that are susceptible to less health issues. With everyone being vaccinated there will be less occurrences of these diseases and sicknesses allowing future generations a more healthy life with fewer visits to the doctor’s office and hospital. Another reason to have mandatory vaccinations is that these vaccines are safe and approved by trusted medical organizations that give citizens advice on most other health issues. Because the vaccines are safe and trusted by professionals, there should be little resistance to having them be mandatory. Adverse reactions to vaccinations is a rare occurrence meaning there is minimal risk in implementing mandatory vaccinations. Also when children are given vaccines at a young age they will not have to pay to have them treated down the road. So with the possibility of healthier future generations, vaccines that are approved by medical professionals, minimal risk, and saving people money there is little reason to be against mandatory vaccination. With mandatory vaccinations, the lifestyle of citizens will be improved by having less doctor visits and healthier bodies.

Vaccinations should not be mandatory because there are numerous health benefits to not being vaccinated, there are benefits of being sick, and having the choice to be vaccinated should be a right.

For many years, there has been a controversy about whether or not vaccinations should be mandated for everyone. In the United States, many diseases such as polio, diphtheria, measles, and whooping cough used to be extremely common, until vaccinations came around and started preventing these diseases. The main point for vaccines is to prepare a person’s immune system for any possible attack of a disease that comes in the future; a person’s body will be prepared to fight off the disease with the vaccine (“Basics”). Vaccines have the ability to prevent many cases of these diseases in advanced, but there are people who think vaccines are unnatural and should not be required for their children. It is said that immunity in child vaccines are about 90%-100%, which is an increase over the past few years (“Childhood”). Although many Americans believe that vaccines are unsafe and cause autism in children, vaccinations for children should be mandatory because they can save a child’s life, create herd immunity in a community, and they have been proven safe/cost-effective.

Huge outbreaks like polio,measles, and the chicken pox diseases that have killed millions of children and adults no longer occur due to breakthroughs with vaccines. Children start to be vaccinated by the age of two until they are an adult, preventing theses diseases and many other vaccine preventable diseases.There are some who choose not to vaccinate their children or themselves, risking the health of the public.Refusing to vaccinate can cause many problems and risk for a child or an adult they take the risk of getting sick and possibly getting another person sick.Vaccinations should be mandated to prevent children and adults from getting vaccine preventable diseases and sickness.

Vaccinations are what doctors and scientists count on to protect lives. So should children keep receiving vaccinations? Vaccines are formed by chemicals designed to create “immunity” for the human body. Doctors use vaccines, because they are known to help protect people from infections. Research done by scientists states that vaccines are safe and effective, but the quality of the actual product may not be what people expect them to be. Therefore, people should have a choice whether to have their children vaccinated or not.

Children are routinely vaccinated to prevent them from catching illnesses that could be fatal or life-changingly damaging. Diseases such as smallpox have been eradicated, and polio has been largely eliminated. It can still be found in remote areas of Africa and South East Asia.

Vaccines should be mandatory because it allows for a healthier environment, the benefits outweigh the risks, and they can be the difference between life and death. Vaccinations keep those around you safer while keeping you safe, as well. Vaccines help to keep pandemics like that of Polio in 1952 and Ebola in 2014 out of reach. Also, the side effects of most vaccines are way better than getting the actual disease. Vaccines save many lives

There are mountains of evidence that suggest vaccinations are much needed and well worth the risk in order to protect oneself. Thus, there should be some sort of intervention that mandates vaccines for everyone. It in fact is more dangerous to not get vaccinated. According to David M. Perry, an associate professor at dominican university, an information database currently aimed to track the effects of the anti-vaccine movement has cited over 100,000 cases of preventable illnesses and 1,000 cases of preventable deaths in the past fifty years. (“The Anti-Vaccine”). 100,00 cases of preventable illness is not a number to be scoffed at. According to this research had the anti-vaccine movement not existed this number would be zero. Due to people believing that vaccines cause more harm than good we are seeing these astronomical numbers of diseases that should not exist in the first place. The fact is that vaccines are well worth the risks they pose especially since the alternative to the possible side effects is preventable and possibly previously eradicated disease. Some of these preventable diseases include deadly ones as seen in the 1,000 people who have died because of this dangerous movement. If the options are between getting a vaccine and potentially dying the obvious right answer is facing the needle. In addition to being great at preventing preventable

disease to occur with numerous antigens entering the body at once and that their child will not be able to properly metabolize and excrete the mercury from their body.

Ever since the rise of religion, certain practices have been marked as foreign and have also been avoided by people. The field of medicine is one of such practices that has been embroiled in various religious disagreements since its conception. Even today many of the disagreements still remain in our societies and has given rise to many campaigns like Anti-Vaccinations. The articles given were also in response to similar kinds of campaigns/beliefs. In the articles there are many views regarding how the people and government should consider these beliefs and what are its effects on the younger generation. One of the author Sharon Slaton Howell says in her article “I feel strongly that Christian Scientists who are committed to following in Christ Jesus' steps of relying on God's power alone for healing, should be allowed exemption from standard health care practices for themselves and their children.” Furthermore, another author who focuses on other aspect of these beliefs, Richard W. Garnett states, “There are relatively few religious objectors to vaccinations, for instance, so they can probably be accommodated because narrow religious exemptions (as opposed to unjustifiably broad ones ‘that cover philosophical and personal objections) do not result in dangerous numbers of

However, it is becoming a common belief that vaccinations are harmful and useless. Vaccines are harmless and are one of the greatest health improvements of this century. Vaccines should be mandatory because they will help prevent people from transmitting deadly diseases; therefore, they will also improve or maintain many people’s health. One of the most important reasons why vaccines should be mandatory is because they can help possibly eradicate diseases.

All 50 states require vaccinations for children to enter kindergarten. These mandated vaccinations protect children from various diseases, such as, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, etc. These are contagious diseases that are contracted by casual contact within a school setting and have resulted in many deaths prior to the introduction of the vaccine. Mandating these vaccinations was the only solution to prevent the disease from spreading. In recent years the side effects of these vaccinations have been in question. Every child is unique and their bodies respond differently to each vaccination. Therefore, it is crucial to educate parents about all vaccinations and possible side effects. An informed parent has the right to decide whether to have their child vaccinated and when to have their child vaccinated. In 2006 the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine was introduced to the vaccination repertoire for 11-12 year old females and in 2010 for same aged males (Keim-Malpass,29). This vaccination is now mandated in Rhode Island, Virginia, and The District of Columbia. This vaccination unlike the other mandated vaccinations is to prevent the spread of a sexually transmitted disease, which is not contracted casually in a school setting. Mandating the HPV vaccine has created much controversy.
