Vaccination

(prHWY.com) August 8, 2012 - Los Angeles, CO -- Vaccination is the act of putting a small quantity of disease-producing virus into a person or an animal, so that their body will react against it and thus protect them from catching the disease. You can be vaccinated against tetanus, meningitis, diptheria, smallpox, polio, hepatitis, measles, whooping cough, etc.

A vaccine is a biological preparation intended to produce immunity to a disease by stimulating the production of antibodies. Vaccination is the administration of vaccines to develop adaptive immunity in an individual against a disease. The Journal of Vaccines & Vaccination provides an open access platform that emphasizes on the clinical effectiveness of new vaccines in treating various infectious diseases.

Vaccination began 200 years ago as an experimental life-saving medical tool. While it originally had some merit, today it has become perhaps the leading cause of death and disability among our children.

Vaccination can still protect people from some infectious diseases. However, adverse effects of vaccines are increasing. Possible reasons for this are:
1) The differing conditions explained above.
2) Many more vaccines. Fifty years ago there were some 8-10 vaccines. Today, over 40 are recommended in some states.
3) Combinations of vaccines are decidedly deadlier.
4) Other reasons might include more awareness of vaccine-related injuries and more attorneys willing to assist clients in this area.

For all these reasons, it is time to review the benefits versus the problems of vaccination as a public health method.

Possible serious side effects of vaccination include:
* Difficulty breathing
* Hoarseness
* Swelling around the eyes or lips
* Hives
* Paleness
* Weakness
* Racing heart
* Dizziness
* Behavior changes
* High fever

From the start, there were problems with vaccines. These included adverse effects such as fevers, and occasionally death from the very disease the vaccine was designed to protect against. However, the benefits of vaccines outweighed the problems and the shots helped eradicate certain diseases.
This background is brief, but very important to understand the vaccine situation now. Today, vaccination is a "protected industry". That is, no one has seriously questioned its premises in spite of horrendous problems that we will discuss. Our federal government protects the vaccine industry by handling its liability problems.

According to the government's own Vaccine Injury Compensation Program or VICP website, the cost as of January 8, 2008 is $1,749,743,610.45, (about $1.75 billion). This works out to about $100 million every year and it is growing fast.

Regardless of your feelings or beliefs about vaccination, the mere fact that a major government budget item is paying damage awards due for vaccine injuries means there exists a severe problem with this industry. Let us examine it in detail. Before doing so, however, here is a very recent medical article that shows how medical research distorts the value of vaccination.

Vaccination Is Not Immunization: When vaccines are effective, they do not confer complete or "natural" immunity. This is well-known, but hardly ever explained to parents and others.
In fact, vaccines only confer an artificial, partial or temporary immunity. The only way to obtain full immunity from an infectious illness is if one actually goes through the illness and recovers fully.

Vaccine-based" immunity", by way of contrast, diminishes in its protective effect after one or more years, assuming it was effective at all. As stated in an earlier section of this article, one does not know if one's vaccination was or is ever effective or not. There is no easy way to tell.
