Vaccine Crisis In 2003-2004: A Case Study

During every year everyone trembles in fear as a new and stronger strand of flu like sickness comes along. These viruses are met with vaccines that are swiftly made by the World Health Organization. The problem with the way that vaccines are made is, the World Health Organization not only makes the vaccines but also deems the vaccines safe. Since they are responsible for making and deeming the vaccines safe, mistakes can lead to mass deaths. For this reason there should be checks and balances where other agencies test the vaccines for potential threat of mental illness, dangerous ingredients, and death. This system is definitely due for an complete overhaul due to the lives of the families that are affected.

Through the rise of technological advances in medicine, the vaccine has changed the world for the greater good of the human race. Making a great triumph and virtually eliminating an array of life-threatening diseases, from smallpox to diphtheria, thus adding approximately thirty years to many humans’ life spans. Although, a new complication has arisen, possibly linking neurological digression with this rise of new vaccines. Such a digression has forced parents to exempt their children from receiving vaccinations and brought forth mental anguish affecting the minds of many.

In the documentary “The Vaccine War”, there was a woman from Ashland, Oregon who’s main concern was that the vaccines being administered were causing more damage than good. I am not sure exactly as to how she can up with that theory but the mother stated the vaccines were not necessary. As a mother i can understand being frightened by the thought of medicine causing damage but it has been proven that vaccines have actually helped saved lives by preventing diseases that children used to most commonly get.There is a huge debate going on currently in regards to vaccines in children. In recent news during the second Republican Presidential Debate on September 16th, hosted by CNN at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in California, there was controversy between Dr. Carson and Donald Trump. Donald Trump has linked childhood vaccines to autism on multiple occasions, despite their being no evidence to link the two together. Trump started off his point by saying that “autism has become an epidemic.” Although there has been an increase in the diagnosis of autism in children, there is still no evidence supporting his theory. One of Trump’s main concerns was the over-grouping of vaccines. Meaning he rather have vaccines given over a period of time, rather than all at once. Although it has been theorized that giving children multiple vaccines at once is safe, Dr. Carson went to agree with Trump, stating: “It is true that that we are probably giving way too many in too short of a period of time”. The controversy between vaccines and autism is causing fear in parents. It is taking away from their will to protect, and prevent harm from their children. We need accurate facts and

As nurses we all know that children will be immunized before starting public school, well in New york they have the same law in place, what you might not know is that three families attempted to challenge this requirement when they went to enroll there children they were not allowed to enroll their children, they did not have their children immunized. The families stated religious freedom, but the courts found that the religious freedom does not apply when a vaccine can prevent a disease outbreak at the end the Supreme Court wont challenge New York’s Vaccine requirements for children. This case shows that the courts will not change or alter a well-known preventable way to stop a disease outbreak. In this case the Supreme Court will not even address this issue the lower courts have done there job, and there is no reason that they get involved.

Franklin D. Roosevelt suffered from polio while he served as the President of the United States. Polio is a virus that causes paralysis, and can even lead to death. Before the polio vaccination was introduced in 1955, the virus had claimed thousands of victims over the years. (“Polio”). Today, vaccinations are available to the public in order to keep viruses like polio from causing an epidemic. A vaccination is the injection of a weakened disease or virus, in order for your body to build up immunity against a certain illness (Davidson). Vaccinations have become a controversial subject because of the side effects, the ingredients used and the idea of protecting the herd.

The Africa past colonial, past aftereffects, and its evils like malnutrition, illiteracy, war and the refusal of a part of the population in the developed countries especially in America to let American children get vaccinated raised the problem of vaccination especially in a bruised population in Africa. The current problem is whether to suspend vaccination campaigns or to continue the vaccination for the welfare of children. Is this right or wrong according to the relationship between patient and medical practitioners? What will be the outcomes of the refusal of

Something that takes around a minute to get could possibly just save a human life, vaccines. A vaccination is just a shot or something else that helps prevent a body from attracting diseases and illness that can possibly cause harm and is needed to keep the body healthy. It is important to try and at least every year be vaccinated, the National Foundation of Infectious Diseases states, "Virus and bacteria that cause illness and death still exist and can be passed on to those who are not protected by vaccines" ("Top Reasons to Get Vaccinated"). The sickness serves as a threat to others around and keeps everyone healthy because even the simplest disease could cause harm. In today's busy world it seems like no one has the time to get sick, nor the money. Vaccinations save time due to having a simple shot before the sickness can even come and no expensive hospital visits.

This paper examines the controversy surrounding the public health issue of vaccinations in children. Following a careful review of the literature surrounding this issue, the possible reasons for and implications of having a large percentage of the population who remains unvaccinated are discussed. Possible interventions and purposed interventions for resolution of this problem are discussed and conclusions are drawn based on what it learned from the literature.

Measles. Polio. Smallpox. The flu. Imagine the world when vaccines were yet to be created. There was a time when people lived in fear of dreadful diseases. Thanks to the introduction of vaccines, many of those devastating diseases have been nearly or completely wiped out. Despite these results, for some people, the question remains: should we vaccinate? Today, I will be discussing the development of the first vaccine, global benefits, and the anti-vaccine movement.

In these days of modern medicine, most children are vaccinated early in life for diseases such as rubella, measles, and tetanus. Vaccines have been perfected to shield and protect our body from seriously life threatening diseases that could have the potential to wipe out large populations. Most of America and a lot of western countries see vaccines as beneficial and a common necessity for their children and themselves. However, this view has not always been accepted. In fact, vaccines were only first widely considered to be helpful for diseases when a man named Louis Pasteur began experimenting with rabies. We will start our journey of microbiological history with the discovery of anthrax and move forward through the creation of Pasteur’s rabies vaccine.

Another claim against immunization is personal opposition to big pharmaceutical companies. Some believe vaccines are charged to patients solely for profit. This pharmaceutical profit-motive can call into question product safety and integrity. The overwhelming majority of vaccines are not highly profitable though (Lam). Due to the massive investment of time and funds required to create vaccines, coupled with only marginal returns on this investment, pharmaceutical corporations do not focus on them. As result, nonprofit health organizations and political agencies such as the CDC, and the WHO, generally lead the charge in vaccine development. It is a real danger that companies will stop developing vaccines altogether (Lam). Drug companies instead concentrate on well, drugs. Continuous treatment medications require patients to purchase repeatedly, until it is no longer necessary. (In some cases, patients may even take certain drugs until death.) The time interval of vaccinations is, at the very least, yearly. In the case of the flu, rather than one flu shot, pharmaceutical companies can profit more from selling antivirals, painkillers, and a host of other treatments to patients that contract viral sickness. Medications, rather than cures are economically desirable. As a biochemistry student myself, upon graduating I face the decision between conducting decent paying scientific research or developing pharmaceuticals with the opportunity of making upwards of $200,000 a year for

Our current society is surrounded by the debatable usage of vaccines and its importance around the world. Since the introduction of immunizations, many diseases have been decreased and even eradicated from humanity. Even though this is true, serious side effects along with lifelong illnesses follow the temporary cure of viruses. A vaccine is a substance that delivers immunity against viruses and is used to stimulate the construction of antibodies. Vaccines are prepared from the disease itself treated to perform as an antigen without inducing the disease (Vaccines). These inoculations are used worldwide and various unknown infections have been speculated as the originations for them. Vaccines were originated as an alternative to cure viruses among people but the harmful symptoms, unknown links to incurable

Thesis Statement: Vaccinating should be a top priority for families in that they are historically effective, the benefits of vaccinating outweigh any risks, and they reduce disease burdens on families and nations.
