About the controversies against vaccines of sorts..?!


Question: About the controversies against vaccines of sorts!.!.!?
More and more vaccines are being evolved to prevent attacks of dangerous / debilitating diseases!.!. But lot of controversies are also generated about the unforseen impacts of these from medical professionals themselves!. What do you feel about this situation!?

Also is it possible to have vaccines administered for so many debilitating diseases like typhoid, flu etc which are supposed to give protection just for an year !? They are also costly and no reimbursement is possible for employees!. We are already giving vaccines against dangerous afflictions like Hepatitis, TB, tetanus, small pox, measles etc to the kids and the increasing number of vaccines being lobbied thru the medicos cause genuine concern to many - particuarly in context of the increasing antagonist views from section of medicos themselves!.

Pl try to address the issue objectively without any prejudice toward any sectionWww@Answer-Health@Com

You're right - this is a very controversial subject!. On one hand, we want to protect ourselves and our children from horrible diseases, but at what cost!?

My sister has worked with mentally incapacitated adults for over 20 years!. Many are there due to extremely high fever as children, and many of those fevers came a day or two after getting a series of childhood vaccinations!.

We all need to weigh our own objectives - if a person is weakened by disease or age, it would be most beneficial for them to get the flu shot as the flu is more likely to be deadly than the shot!. For the person who of generally good health, well, ya gotta make your own decision!.

We need to take more responsibility for our overall wellness with better diets and life habits!. We can boost our own immunities with a little diligence!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I also have heard this but this year i did go get the flu shot!.Last year i did without!.My pneumonia shot was a good one and i found out they even give a booster for that here!.I think it helps to offer those at the work place as it does keep a worker on the job but in the expense department forr the shot id say its up to the companies!.It is costly and if i was still in business i would say no as too expensive but i would allow a day off for anyone who wanted to go to there doctor and get one and bring me back a paper that they had done so then i would see how it went!.As far as being able with one shot to help all these diseases i dont think we will ever be able to help everyone and people them selves need to handle that and just learn to be more responsibleWww@Answer-Health@Com

There had always been criticism to allopathic approaches from other types of therapists!.!. But the controversy shot up when the people from their own field started doubting the increasing types of vaccines in thelast two decades and the spurt in physical /mental / intellectual disorders of sorts of the children exposed to more and more vaccines!.!.

Becos the vaccines have been tested for their impact on the disease resistance only and not on their slow and subtle action on brain and critical nervous tissues etc, say the antogonists (several websites on ADHD et al!.!.)

We have bitter experience with the unexpected backlash of our well intended findings with biological specimens!.!. The plant scientists trried to control thepests and diseases with inorganic chemicals of sorts - hydrocarbons, organophosphorous groups, etc - and found that theproblems of resurgene, resistance and residual toxicity multiplied throwing each finding to great risks!.!. Then they switched to "pest management" instead of "control", by using natural defenders, bio control agents etc!.!.

The breeding for resistance also met with strange unexpected results!.!. The "green ear" resistant pearl millet varieties all failed and the crop was lost in the endemic areas over years!.!. Similar experiences in wheat and corn breeding also are history!.!. That is why there is fear and resistance to the introduction of Bt Cotton which involves gene implantation with a bacteria that could kill the devastating pod borers of cotton!.!. The people are afraid the reaction of the bacterial gene beyond the control of pod borers!.!. are yet unknown and could be risky!.!.

This is not to deny ourselves the possibility to defend from serious health afflictions thru vaccines!.!. but the need to analyse the arguments of a relationship between the increase in number of vaccines of sorts and the increasing health concerns in children!.!. as put forth by section of experts!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's not all that big a debate in the medical circle, and it's really not at all like it's presented in the media, as a big controversy!. There is a lot of pressure to get to DNA vaccinations, mainly because they'll have a level of safety and potency that's unequaled by even the best 2nd gen vaccines using recom technology!. When we get HIV and cancer vaccines, they're going to be DNA vaccines!. We might even get a widely efficacious, long lasting TB vaccine out of it (as the present one's kinda mediocre)!. The number of lives that saves could measure in the hundreds of millions in Africa and Asia!.

Flu's the big one that only lasts a year!. This is because the flu virus is so damned weird!. Every year it migrates from avians, to pigs, to humans in asia somewhere, and then spreads across the globe!. Every year, it's basically a new virus!.

Tetanus is another one, because it's not really a vaccine against the bacteria, it's against the poison the bacteria makes!. Because of this, it doesn't last indefinitely!. But still, 5-10 years isn't bad, given that this one is really cheap to make!.

We really don't regularly vaccinate against some of these anymore!. Smallpox, and polio come to mind!. Smallpox we made extinct with the vaccine, and polio has been driven to the far corners of the earth!. Polio was so utterly close to being annihilated, but vaccine scares in Africa and the Middle East kinda shot it down!.

I'd like to see things so that we don't need to vaccinate, to drive most of these pathogens to edge of extinction and over it!. While that'd be hard to do with something like TB, which can infect other creatures, we could do it with HepB say, or Rubella!.

There's some we really need to hang on to, especially the ones that get children - measles for one pertussis is another!. The pertussis scare in the US in the 70s resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands of children crippled by the pertussis bacteria!. Rubella is worrisome not so much for when children get it, but for when women get it and have children, it's horribly disfiguring and crippling to the child!.

I do really think we've gotten a little spoiled here in the US!. We've got so little infectious disease these days that people lose sight of what it was like even forty years ago!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
