Many people, both beneficiaries and those that dispense the service argue
and discuss on whether it is necessary, safe or at all beneficial to have
vaccines against the many diseases. At the end of the day, we can only
really look at the advantages and disadvantages of this practice then leave
it to the individual to have their opinions.
The Pros.
1. Most medical doctors and other healthcare professionals are positive
about what has been achieved through vaccination in preventing and
eradication a number of life threatening diseases. The pros are weighty
enough to be considered. Here are some:
2. Prevention of disease is one of the most important advantages of
vaccination. Whether going in disease prone areas or just getting a
vaccine during childhood, vaccination has really done much to prevent
diseases like polio, whooping cough and various types of fevers.
3. Disease eradication. Vaccination programs have been carried out
extensively and have totally eradicated life threatening diseases from the
human race. It is more than the vaccinated protecting the unvaccinated
because here, the threat is done away with completely.
4. A lot of money has been saved since the advent and adoption of
vaccination. This is money that would have otherwise been used in
getting medical attention and buying medication. Other amounts would
have been used in developing medicines and research that goes with it.
The cons.
1. Susceptibility of new born babies in the event mothers have used
intravenous diseases. Babies can contract diseases like hepatitis if their
mothers have been using such vaccination.
2. Artificial immunity will compromise the body’s ability to defend itself for a
long time. Natural immunity can last longer. For instance, contracting
chicken pox can give you a lifelong immunity against the disease as the
antibodies will be aptly developed to defend the body against the real
disease.
3. There is the risk of harmful and toxic chemicals being introduced to the
body. Some people or even children may react severely to these
chemicals. The chemicals include.
Mercury- this is a toxic substance that possess great risks to people.
Enough has been said of the dangers of this substance.
Aluminum- aluminum is a metal that has been associated with dementia,
Alzheimer’s disease and seizures.
SV40- the simian virus 40 is associated with tumors. This is prevalent in
children and is traceable to the monkey tissue used in making the polio
vaccine.
Formaldehyde- this is a chemical widely known for causing cancer.
