The Pros And Cons Of Vaccines

We should have a policy that requires parents needing to go through educational videos before they can make a choice on if they want their children to be vaccinated or not. This way people have the choice to not vaccinate instead of being forced to vaccinate. The people that could fix this is the state government or the United States government to enforce new laws states. I think the state should set up a program that is funded by the government that educates people on why they should or shouldn’t vaccinate their children. The program should be given by a professional health care provider and should be done when they are still pregnant in order to make informed decisions.

Others would disagree with the policy of strict vaccines. They

Some might say that natural immunity is better than vaccine immunity, though it may give a longer resistance with natural immunity, however it is much more dangerous.Just the measles disease the natural way causes inflammation of the brain while a severe allergic reaction only once in every million vaccinated individual (Misconceptions about Vaccines). Others might say that the children are getting a lot of shots, while that may be true, but according to the CDC the max number of antigens children are exposed to is 315 while in the late 90’s it was several thousands (Krans). They are completely good points, but the dangers of these diseases outweigh the side effects of vaccine. Vaccines are there to help protect people from these diseases that were eradicated from the United States which shows that these vaccines really help stop these diseases.One disease that is declared eliminated from the world is small pox, which a vaccine was made to help stop it and it did stop.History has shown that vaccines help and that they are completely safe. Without vaccinated people it makes herd immunity weaker if that happens, people cannot rely on the fact that others were vaccinated. Herd immunity helps stop the spread of

The only way it could be solved is to have state laws or the United States government to make the laws. The first half of 2012 Washington had 2520 cases of whooping cough which was a 1,300% increase from the previous year, which was the largest outbreak since 1947 (Offit). If something does not change we could see a huge increase in these numbers. Just because we no longer see these diseases circulate around the United States anymore does not mean we should not worry since they are still a threat around the world and can still be brought back over from other places. More laws need to be put in place to keep everyone safe from these easily preventable diseases. The only way we can protect the ones that cannot be vaccinated is to be vaccinated so that diseases cannot spread so easily. Just because a disease is rarely found in the U.S. ; one infected person from another region can have a disease spread like wildfire if we stop vaccinations. More parents have to speak up about their concerns for their children especially in school. There has to be laws that do not allow unvaccinated children into schools and not be able to use a waiver unless it has been proven that the vaccination is deadly to a particular person. Annual vaccines for kids already save up to 3 million lives a year around the
