Anti-vax movement
The Vaccines are probably the biggest advance against diseases in the humanity´s history, according to the most of the scientific community. However, vaccines are not available for everybody, in fact, two million people are is dying every year due to for preventible diseases. For example, cases of polio, measles and diphtheria have been reduced their disease´s cases through the immunization programs produced by the vaccines.If the vaccines are so effective and prevent avoid the most deadly deathly diseases... why are there are parents who don´t want to vaccinate their children?
Well, according to the pediatrician Carlos Gónzalez, he explains that as the diseases are disappearing and the people are forgetting (the most young people haven´t seen the consequences of these diseases), it´s being replaced the fear of the diseases is being replaced by for the fear of secondary effects from the vaccines. These effects can exist, but are usually milds. "This fear afraid are being is being fed feeding by false beliefs from the parents. Generally, the parents who decide don´t to not vaccinate their children are very informed: they have had read many books and visited dozens of internet websites, but, in fact, they are very poorly bad informed".
(continuation of my edit)
The debate about whether to vaccinate or not vaccinate is clearly a problem of the first world. While developing countries are unable aren´t able to allow this luxury about themselves because many people are is dying from by terrible diseases, there are countries with where have too much money that and have movements which are refusing (or, rejecting) vaccines.My personal opinion about this fact is that ignoring this movements only can bring damage to your children by not, and are supporting the means producing the apparition to erradicated disease.
If you want, put your opinion below it, I will be pleased to read them.
Vaccines are probably the biggest advance against diseases in the history of mankind, according to most scientists/according to most of the scientific community. However, vaccines aren´t available for everybody. In fact, two million people die each year because of preventable diseases. For example, polio, measles and diphtheria have been reduced due to the benefits from vaccines.
If vaccines are so effective and help prevent deadly diseases... then why are there parents who don´t want to vaccinate their children?
According to the paediatrician Carlos Gónzalez, he explains that as diseases disappear, people forget about the impact of these diseases on society (young people haven´t seen the consequences of these diseases). People are becoming afraid of the side effects of a vaccine, rather than the disease itself. Side effects do exist, but they tend to be mild.
