Myths/truths about vaccinationMyth 1- The fact that we have better hygiene and that we have revolutionized our ways of sanitation will simply make diseases die. Ultimately, the idea of vaccination is unnecessary. The diseases we can vaccinate against could recur if we stop vaccinating. While it is true that hygiene-preserving forms of cleanliness, such as using soap when washing hands and using clean water, ultimately prevent the creation of infectious and deadly diseases, there are many infections that they have the ability to spread despite our efforts to clean up. If your loved ones aren't vaccinated, diseases that were once rare, such as polio and measles, have a chance of reappearing. Myth 2: Vaccines have many deadly long-term side effects. NO research has yet been done to determine these effects. But let's assume that some of these effects could be fatal. This is not true. The vaccines we take are generally safe. There may be exceptions that react less with the body, however, ultimately, vaccines are safe to take. It is extremely rare for a fatal event to occur. Given this statement, there is a greater likelihood that those who do not take the vaccine will get sick than those who do. A specific example is polio, where instead of paralysis and blindness a person may experience mild dizziness and tiredness. Simply put, the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks. Myth 3 – Diseases that were destroyed by vaccines in the past are irrelevant now – we no longer need to take vaccines. There are still many foreign bacteria out there that can arrive, cross and infect our borders, eventually infecting anyone who is not protected... middle of paper... ath. Vaccines ultimately work with the immune system to create an immune response similar to that created by natural infection. But the person who is injected with the vaccine does not have the ability to withstand the strong negative effects given by the disease as a whole, but he will still be able to create the necessary antibodies to fight any foreign disease. Do Vaccines Cause Autism There was a study from the 1990s that revealed a possible link between the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and autism, but it was later deemed questionable. The article has since been withheld from the public by the journal that published it. The release, however, ultimately created a panic that led to declining vaccination rates and, ironically, further outbreaks of these diseases. Ultimately, there is no evidence of a link between the vaccine and the development of autism..
