The same with the âÂ#Âoesafetyã¢Â# of vaccines. Pro vaccine forces claim âÂ#Âoevaccines have saved many livesã¢Â#Â. Vaccines in the past
and ethically made vaccines today can save many lives but that doesn't mean all of them are ethical
or are safe! Just because Vitamin a deficiency is so dangerous doesn't mean it's widespread or even existent!
We've made a guide for you to help you refute common anti-vaccine questions and claims.
Historically recommended vaccines have been shown to harm children. Why would today's recommendations be any different?
Yes some older vaccines had severer side effects than current ones do. I'll look at two examples polio
No one has gotten polio from the newer polio vaccine. Before 2000 pediatricians in the U s. routinely gave kids a polio vaccine that contained live attenuated polio virus. Now American kids get a vaccine with an inactivated
or killed virus. Very rarely the live virus in the older vaccine could actually revert to its natural state and cause paralysis a tragic consequence.
Some people in the world still deal with this risk. Live attenuated polio vaccines are used in some regions where polio is endemic
because those who get the live attenuated vaccine are able to pass on their immunity to others around them which helps spread immunity more quickly.
People are also able to take the live attenuated vaccine by mouth instead of in a shot
so it's quicker and easier to get to people in regions where there are few doctors and nurses.
Different countries must judge the risks and benefits of the oral polio vaccine differently; even the U s. had judged once the live attenuated vaccine worth the risk
when there was nothing better available. No one has gotten polio from the newer polio vaccine. Before the 1990s kids in the U s. got a pertussis vaccine with severe potential side effects ranging from fever to fainting fits.
Some parents sued vaccine manufacturers claiming that the shot caused brain damage. Scientists have determined since that the parents'claim is unproven.
U s. doctors now use a new pertussis vaccine with milder side effects. Of course it's up to everyone to decide individually
whether the risks of a medicine outweigh its benefits. Consider the numbers around vaccines though.
Often something like 1 in 1000 kids experience moderate side effects such as prolonged crying. For more severe side effects such as seizures or that rotavirus-caused bowel blockage the odds go down to one in tens of thousands.
Among children who contract measles one in 1000 get encephalitis an acute brain infection and one or two in 1000 die.
It is dangerous for little babies to get so many vaccines at one time. The immune system can get overwhelmed.
Babies really do get a lot of vaccines at once. Their first round alone includes six shots. And the list of recommended childhood vaccines has grown in recent decades as researchers have developed more and more immunizations.
States with lenient policies about immunization exemptions had 90 percent more whooping cough cases than stricter states.
However numerous studies have found no link between getting the recommended schedule of vaccines and getting other diseases later in childhood.
There's no credible scientific evidence that vaccines are able to overload babies'immune systems. Though immature babies'systems are prepared to handle vaccines.
They already handle numerous viruses and bacteria all around them in everyday life. The U s. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend vaccines at very young ages
because that's when kids are the most vulnerable as some of the natural immunization they got from breastfeeding fades.
Vaccines have dangerous ingredients in them. One of Mccarthy's--and other vaccine opponents'--most popular claims is that thimerosal a mercury-based preservative once common in vaccines causes autism.
There's so much evidence showing thimerosal doesn't cause autism. Nevertheless thimerosal no longer appears in any vaccines except influenza
because an infant receiving the recommended schedule of old vaccines would get a higher-than-recommended dose of mercury
which is toxic in high levels. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has more information on the ingredients in vaccines.
They are not dangerous. CLAIM: It's not like a parent's decision not to vaccinate his child harms other kids.
He may infect babies that haven't yet been scheduled to receive their vaccines. He may also infect the small percentage of kids for
The measles vaccine for example is more than 95 percent effective very good but not perfect. Where kids aren't vaccinated more people get sick.
There's nothing wrong with spacing out my child's vaccines if I want to. Delaying a vaccine just means there's that much longer a window for an unimmunized child to get sick.
Limiting the number of doctor's visits children need to get all their shots also helps more families stick to the recommended schedule
It's always important to know about side effects before deciding to give your kid a vaccine or another medicine.
Most of the side effects of vaccines are compared mild to the illnesses they prevent. Different vaccines may cause temporary fussiness swelling prolonged crying and other effects.
Some babies get mild vomiting and diarrhea after the DTAP and rotavirus vaccines. We fully acknowledge that what doctors call mild vomiting
and diarrhea is not fun to have to take care of.)Very rarely kids may be severely allergic to a vaccine.
Allergic reactions generally occur within hours of getting a shot. The reaction may be bad enough that a kid can't get the rest of the shots in that series
or she will have to rely on other kids being vaccinated to protect him from that disease. 1 in 20000 to 1 in 100000 babies who get the rotavirus vaccine get a serious bowel blockage for
This isn't an exhaustive list of the potential side effects of different vaccines though I've tried to cover the most severe ones.
We stopped inoculations for our children after our oldest 2 both suffered from vaccine injuries at their 18mo and 1 year vaccination appointment.
My oldest daughter who didn't have asthma prior to her 18mo vaccines suddenly developed asthma.
Our youngest daughter (at the time) spent 9 days in the hospital due to dehydration brought on by 16 days of severe diarrhea immediately following her 1 year vaccines.
and determined that we're done with vaccines for right now. And to be clear I'm not worried about autism from the vaccines.@
@chrisa I don't believe this article is directed at you. Obviously if there is an allergy or some other related issue then you can't be vaccinated.
My girlfriend stopped breathing when she got the pertussis vaccine as child so she is unvaccinated still for that.
I am totally for vaccines where allergies allow I don't feel that calling these activist parents crazies will at all help the situation.
What they are calling for are third party unfunded and disconnected from the industry real studies on the long term effects of the additives to these vaccines
in this case lets assume vaccines are placebos neither causing harm nor effective. Then look at the evidence to see
if the null holds true. https://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/National childhood vaccine injury actnot all vaccines are safe for everyone all of the time.
http://www. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov/pmc/articles/PMC1448377/Vaccine proponents will cite the explanation by the researchers
Be sure to take into account exposure to dangerous components the probability of contracting a specific disease the effectiveness of a vaccine
And last not all vaccines are created equal. Try a search for politicians who were administered a separate vaccine than the one they suggested for the public.@
@Skeptic until pro-thank you. The article written by popsci is misleading and sad to say the least
and think they've learned all there is to ever know about vaccines. Don't be a noob;
Popsci attests to the validity of the âÂ#Âoesafeã¢Â# vaccines program and the publication's own lack of ethic by its language.
Their âÂ#Âoeaddressingã¢Â# of issues relating to the âÂ#Âoesafetyã¢Â# of vaccines equally demonstrates the inherent corruption in âÂ#Âoescienceã¢Â#Â. Careful
and in selling the âÂ#Âoesafetyã¢Â# of vaccines. Consider for example âÂ#Âoesome older vaccines had severer side effect than the current onesã¢Â#Â. Some.
How many? How many newer ones have worse effects? Note the insistence of only discussing polio and pertussis.
No article defending vaccines covers any others than these! And consider how many even know about polio vaccine containing the aã¢Â# attenuatedã¢Â# virus up until 2000
and pertussis vaccines have many severe side effects until the 1980's? Few if any. Because âÂ#Âoescienceã¢Â# tends to overplay even fabricate successes and downplay failures!
They won't mention the truth unless they have to. And now it's just too obvious they aren't coming clean.
But what guarantee is there that their âÂ#Âoeassurancesã¢Â# of vaccines now are any better than the now admitted risky alternatives back then that were peddled as âÂ#Âoemiracle drugs with no drawbacksã¢Â#Â?
but he didn't include thimerosal aluminum or fetal tissue in his vaccines! The drug companies are just looking for ways to charge more.
Prior to widespread vaccination the US population fell prey to numerous diseases that debilitated disfigured and outright killed many people who could have been saved with vaccines.
Vaccines are good for you and your children and are worth the risk. http://blogs-images. forbes. com/matthewherper/files/2013/03/c6fb5feb7f1ee71b7e725277d30999161. jpgthis Chart shows exactly why you should vaccinate.
@Barksley-I agree that vaccines are a lifesaver and if we didn't have them infant mortality rates would be much higher than they are.
I would never say that we need to do away with vaccines and I believe that the majority of people even the ones who won't get them for their kids will agree that we're better off as a whole with them.
But when my very young girls each had an issue related to their vaccines you start to wonder
@johnt-I never knew anyone who had a bad reaction to a vaccine until my 2 oldest children had vaccine injuries.
and funded by vaccine companies will not change anybody's opinionthis piece of propaganda is laughable.
and the data I have seen is not against vaccines but against the use of mercury as a preservative (thimerosal to extend the shelf life of vaccines and save money.
The systems of autism and the systems of mad hatters disease are the exact same.
I find most they arguments to be utter BS the majority of Pro vaccine websites are run by the drug companies.
and sanitation than there are to vaccines. crikey. Vaccines cause adhd/autism/etc just as much as going to middle school causes puberty.
Seriously this coincidence of timing has been the only link but people who needed something to blame latched onto it
As to the conclusion that vaccines cause more harm than good the statistical data is absent from the article
There is an argument that we use too many vaccines and inhibit the natural development of antibody production by the immune system.
If vaccines were so safe why are there laws to protect the vaccine manufacturers from legal action
Vaccine Crazy's? Is that what they call parents that are skeptical of whats going on these days?
For the record there have been known proven issues with vaccines in the past. There are still baby-boomers floating around that nobody who knows the situation denies were damaged by vaccines.
Seems there's been testimony in front of congress about Salk polio vaccine released for public use between 1955 and 1963 was contaminated with SV40;
and SV40 has been proven to cause cancer in animals. Okay that's just old news fair enough let's pretend everything is safe now.
Vaccine Court Awards Millions to Two Children With Autism Posted: 01/14/2013 http://www. huffingtonpost. com/david-kirby/post2468343 b 2468343. htmlyeah that's rather recent factual and disturbing.
And who is tasked with raising a child damaged by vaccines...Their parents. So to sit back
and hope they're in the majority of vaccine recipients who have no ill effects...
And to be honest all this hacking the immune system with vaccines and such is most likely just making the immune system weaker over generations.
We need GOOD vaccines but we don't need the harm of bad science. Would Popsci give ALL children peanut butter?
Same with vaccines. We have understood just GB Syndrome but AFTER harm occurred. Same with modern vaccines.
As more children have survived similarly we have a broader genome with sensitivities. The INDUSTRY does NOT test adjuvants for sensitivities.
So for parents to TRUST vaccines NEW studies are needed. Indeed parents may have to get their own genome mapped
do need we good vaccines. Absolutely but Popsci has done everyone a big disservice and could have dug much deeper into a complex and deadly issue.
It boggles my mind that people still argue about vaccines...just for a better part of last century literally millions of kids around the world caught
And study after study after study have shown absolutely NO connection between MMR vaccine and autism and side effects of vaccines are understood already well
and those at risk are told prior to immunization. And if you want to put vaccinations in terms of risk management it's not even close!
And on top of this vaccines have become much more efficient and reliable just in the past 30 years.
For example the immune-load of current vaccines (even though this overloading of immune system from vaccines is a complete myth correctly stated in the article) is 10%to that of vaccines from the 70's
There is complete scientific consensus on the efficacy and benefits of vaccines and while I can't deny the well intention of anti-vaccination people they are doing a terrible terrible harm to the society by spreading ridiculous information.
Therefore if popsci talked negative of vaccines they would lose big pharma funding. This is how all the corporate news works.
Using the rule everything effects everything it also turns out vaccines cause autism. corporate news depends on $ not truthif you don't mind gambling with your child's health forget the vaccinations.
and efficiency of vaccines as there is in the physics community for the validity of the theory of relativity.
The entire anti-vaccine hoax is based on fear among parents who genuinely want the best for their kids a failure to realize that anecdotal evidence is not evidence
A real outbreak of polio or smallpox or something that will actually kill your face would probably have all of these sitting at home self proclaimed biology experts who without any real education speculate that hey I think personally that vaccines probably messes with our immune system
Just for the sake of accuracy vaccines don't prevent illness or disease. They are generally homeopathic in operation.
The fact that By Nov 30 2009 the mercury-based preservative thimerosal had only been phased out of most vaccines shows that the medical field is retracting their mistakes as of only 4 years ago.
There is much more to the vaccine debate and not in an all-in or all-out manner then this article lets on.
however with using these monkey kidney cells to both create the original vaccine strains and grow the vaccine in large quantities.
Monkeys contain simian viruses. 11 When the poliovirus was passaged through the monkeys or grown on the monkey kidney cells for production extrane g
However Dr. Dela Cruz claims that his treatment system works more like a vaccine than an antibiotic:
-and-mouth vaccine that's cheaper to make because it doesn't require the tight biosecurity that a factory that makes vaccines from live viruses needs its creators say.
The researchers have built also the virus mimic in such a way that it can stay out of a refrigerator for longer than current foot
-and-mouth vaccines so it could ship more easily around the world. In the future the same techniques could apply to vaccines to the polio virus which belongs to a large group of viruses related to hoof
-and-mouth Andrew Macadam a polio researcher at the U k. National Institute for Biological Standards and Control told the BBC.
Polio vaccines are made now with either weakened or killed polio viruses. The weakened type still carries a small risk of reverting to its original form
and causing paralysis. That vaccine is used no longer in the U s . but some other countries give it out
There's still plenty of testing to do before the newly created virus shell can be used as a vaccine however.
#New vaccine against lung diseases in goats and sheepan intranasal spray was developed using local isolated bacterium in Malaysia
and it was found to provide better protection against infections by Mannheimia haemolytica bacterium than imported vaccines.
Universiti Putra Malaysia has launched a new vaccine against lung or pneumonic diseases in goats and sheep that was developed
The soft launch of STVAC7 the first intranasal spray vaccine for goats and sheep was officiated by the Deputy Minister of Science Technology and Innovation Datuk Dr Abu Bakar Mohamad Diah in a brief ceremony on 24.oct 2013.
The vaccine was developed and tested from 1998 to 2005 by UPM scientists led by Prof Dr Mohd Zamri Saad of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.
The patent for the STVAC7 vaccine Has been fed commercialised to Tech Sdn Bhd for RM4 million
and marketing of the vaccine said the Vice chancellor of UPM Prof Datuk Dr Mohd Fauzi Hj Ramlan when speaking at the ceremony.
He said he is confident that the vaccine could penetrate the local and foreign market
The company's collaboration with UPM would ensure that it would produce the STVAC7 vaccines under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
and FTU were currently developing the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the mass production of the STVAC 7 vaccine using the GMP facilities of the service centre as well as product registration before marketing.
Meanwhile replying to questions Prof Dr Zamri said the STVAC7 is a vaccine against mannheimiosis
which unlike the imported vaccines has been demonstrated to provide protection against bacterium infection in the small ruminants like goats and sheep.
The current available vaccines against this disease are imported vaccines prepared using foreign strains. They are given via intramuscular injections.
The vaccines were found to be ineffective and expensive. Therefore STVAC7 was developed using local isolated bacterium that was found to be able to provide protection against infections by Mannheimia haemolytica bacterium A2 A7 and A9.
and technology could be modified to produce vaccines against other diseases of animals and humans. In fact the technology can be modified further to produce test kits for various diseases he said.
Using his findings vaccine-based control strategies can be implemented which may lead to the country becoming more self-sufficient in food.
There is currently no vaccine against porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in the United states . Although some vaccines are in use in Asia we do not know
whether they would work against the U s. strains of the virus. The researchers determined not only that the three U s. strains of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus are most closely related to the Chinese strains of the virus
and with the lack of a vaccine in the United states practicing strict biosecurity and good sanitation procedures on the farm are important for prevention and control of this deadly disease Meng added.
Human Vaccine Institute. It also provides support for inducing inhibitory factors in breast milk that might be even more protective such as antibodies that would completely protect babies from HIV infection in this setting.
The vaccines that are available for cattle are used rarely but could be significant. The research was lead by a team of researchers at the University of Glasgow in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh the Royal Veterinary College Scotland's Rural College Health Protection Scotland and the Scottish E coli O157/VTEC
Vaccines against the bacteria exist that can reduce super-shedding. As a consequence the researchers predict that vaccinating cattle could reduce human cases by nearly 85 percent far higher than the 50 percent predicted by studies simply looking at the efficacy of current vaccines in cattle.
These figures provide strong support for the adoption of vaccines by the livestock industry and work is now underway to establish the economic basis for such a program of vaccination.
In addition research is continuing in Scotland by the same collaborative grouping to develop even more effective vaccines that would further reduce the impact on human disease.
Lead author Dr Louise Matthews Senior Research Fellow in the Institute of Biodiversity Animal health and Comparative Medicine said:
The vaccines that are available currently have poor take-up: one version in the US is licensed not fully

and transmissibility of these H7n9 viruses and to develop effective vaccines and antiviral drugs so as to reduce their adverse effects upon human health.
The researchers led by Ram Sasisekharan the Alfred H. Caspary Professor of Biological Engineering at MIT also found that current flu vaccines might not offer protection against these strains.
From a pandemic-preparedness point of view we should potentially start including some of these H3 strains as part of influenza vaccines.
The researchers then exposed some of these strains to antibodies provoked by the current H3 seasonal-flu vaccines.
Developing a vaccine for the Schmallenberg virus is a possibility. One already exists for the similar Akabane virus
which kills round 40000 people each year with no vaccines or specific treatments currently available. There have been around 2400 cases of dengue infection in Northern Australia in recent years.
One major question raised by the finding is why the Hepatitis a vaccine works so well to contain the infection.
The vaccine one of the most effective in use was thought to elicit neutralizing antibodies that attack the virus in the blood.
Since it is known now that the envelope surrounding the virus in the blood prevents this the vaccine cannot work as previously thought.
It makes us rethink completely the mechanism underlying the well-documented efficacy of Hepatitis a vaccine.
Future studies will investigate the mechanisms behind the vaccine's effectiveness Dr. Lemon said. While it was thought previously that vaccine-induced antibodies attacked the virus outside of the cell the new findings suggest antibodies may actually be able to restrict viral replication within a cell.
Understanding how this really good vaccine works will help us in the future to develop better vaccines for other viruses that we are having difficulty developing vaccines for said Dr. Lemon.

#Vaccinating cows could answer serum shortageby many estimates an Ebola vaccine could be available in humans as early as next year.
There are a number of vaccines in development and each is in a race to prove that it is most effective safe
One promising Ebola vaccine is based on a human rabies virus vaccine and is developed by Thomas Jefferson University in collaboration with the National institutes of health (NIH).
This novel vaccine could not only help reign in the current epidemic in West Africa but could be expanded easily
The researchers also plan to develop the vaccine into the type of antibody serum therapy used in the first U s. recipients in a platform that could deliver at least 2000 doses of potentially lifesaving serum per month.
Vaccines are the best way to completely eradicate an epidemic threat like Ebola says Matthias Schnell Ph d. Director of the Jefferson Vaccine Center and Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Thomas Jefferson University.
Dr. Schnell and his team have developed a vaccine that activates the immune system to produce large amounts of antibodies against three virus strains
Already Dr. Schnell's group has developed the vaccine which showed good protection in nonhuman primates against the Zaire Ebola virus.
Currently the vaccine is being developed with the help of Peter Jahrling at the Integrated Research Facility at the NIH
and with IDT a company that prepares human-grade vaccines. Although the current timeline would have the shots ready for trials in two to three years Dr. Schnell says that a vaccine could be ready in six to ten months
if appropriate investments were made. Vaccines however may only prevent the spread of the disease rather than help those who have contracted already the infection because of how quickly the disease progresses.
In order to address this issue Dr. Schnell is working with another company with a novel method of producing antibodies en masse.
Although they do not confer the long-lasting immunity of a vaccine antibodies attach to virus particles
Together with SAB Dr. Schnell is applying for a grant that would allow the team to vaccinate the cows with his vaccine in order to produce large quantities of antibodies specific for the three viral strains.
