Often times, people believe that they know what is best for themselves and their children. Because of this, they dispute what professionals have to say on the matter and find themselves causing more harm than good. Vaccinations are one of these things. </p>\n<p>Just like most other things introduced into the body, vaccines have advantages and disadvantages. Pros and cons. looking at one without the other is foolishness and i feel to truly answer this question, we must analyze both. First let's look at the advantages.</p>\n<p>Vaccination was invented by a man named Edward Jenner. He took material from a cowpox patient and worked on it to reduce its potency. After doing this, he injected it into a boy named James Phipps. Two months later, he injected the boy with the cowpox virus and it did not develop. This was the first step towards the eradication of cowpox. </p>\n<p>Before vaccination began, 13000 to 20000 cases of polio were recorded yearly in the USA. In 1996, due to a global effort to destroy the disease via vaccination, only 3500 cases were recorded in the whole world. There are similar reports for many diseases like rinderpest, dracunculiasis, yaws, lymphatic filariasis. Without vaccination, the entire world would have been ravaged by these diseases much more than it already had.</p>\n<p>On the downside, we must acknowledge that there are side effects to the use of vaccines. This is not due to the vaccine itself but rather to the difference in the bodies of different people. Some children are weaker than others and as such experience adverse effects like muscle and joint pain, fatigue, <a href=\"https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/headaches/\">headache</a>, shivering, mild fever and swelling. On rare occasions, there might be an allergic reaction even though it happens about once in a million cases. </p>\n<p>Taking everything into consideration, i think the answer is clear. Any parent who would rather have his child and the entire world exposed to diseases like polio and tuberculosis or cowpox isn't worthy of being a parent. Vaccines have done more good than harm and should be mandatory so as to ensure the eradication of more diseases in the world.</p>\n<p><br></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pke8bnl8x","appParentAuthor":"ireakari","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
