Draft Arguement

Hi guys, here is my draft argument.

The choices we make today are important. Our decisions impact us in many ways and some can continue to affect us in the future.  Some decisions shouldn’t be made lightly. As light as a pin prick can feel, the substance that is injected directly into your blood is weighty. Mercury, formaldehyde and aluminium are all elements that can cause serious harm on their own. These are just some of the ingredients used in vaccines today. Vaccines began with a powder made up of ground up scabs of the infected. This was blown up the nose in an attempt to save those who were uninfected, to help the body produce antibodies against the virus by fighting a weakened form. Technology has since evolved with multi-billion-dollar corporations at the head of this research claiming success rates that are far above the actual figure. This creating a demand for studies that call for a true test on whether or not good health or vaccines are best. Injecting these chemicals in our body should always be a choice. Our choice.

Making these decisions are tough and sometimes we turn to our doctor to help us make an educated decision on these treatments. They will often encourage the use of vaccines not only because they are trying to assist you, but also because drug companies offer incentives for doctors to sell their products. To be clear on what is being injected into you and the side effects ask your doctor to see the packing slip. Some of these ingredients could include and are not limited to thimerosal(mercury), formaldehyde, aluminium phosphate, MSG, human album, and bovine serum. Each of these ingredients when in contact with you on its own can cause serious side effects when these ingredients are injected directly into the blood with little filtration it can cause severe side effects. The EPA maximum safety limit for Thimerosal is 5mcg, the amount in one flu vaccine is 25mcg. This combined with Aluminium phosphate, known to greatly increase toxicity of mercury, is a concoction that can cause immune and neurological disorders, Dr Mark R. Geier’s study proves link to autism. Bovine serum and human albumin both have the possibility to cause autoimmune disorders ranging from lupus to AID’s. MSG (monosodium glutamate) can cause brain damage. Formaldehyde is carcinogenic and has also been known to fail to deactivate the virus the vaccine is intended to cure, more ingredients and side effects. These are ingredients in some of our well-known vaccines today such as, Hepatitis B, Tetanus and Polio vaccines. Also, Attenuvax, MMRvax, Gardasil HPV are all made by Merck. Some of these are injected into children as young as 12 hours to immunise them against diseases such as, Measles, Mumps, Diphtheria.

 

At 12 hours old a baby’s immune system hasn’t fully developed when a foreign contaminant is introduced via a vaccine. This hinders the development if the system not only from a young age, but also from the abnormal immune system response the vaccine triggers which Dr Brian Boyd explains in more detail, by suppressing the immune system there is more of a likelihood of a person contracting pathogens. By the age of 14 an average child, based on CDC’s recommended vaccines, will have had 49 doses of 14 vaccines. A single vaccine by itself is unlikely to cause serious side effects. However, having multiple vaccines introduced to the body in a short period of time has the potential to cause the side effects, as explained above, that can also manifest later in life. Surveys looking at the health of vaccinated versus unvaccinated done by practitioners and volunteers (No official academic research has been done on this topic as it has been deemed unethical), show findings that unvaccinated children have a lower rate of having asthma, sinusitis, skin conditions, and Autism. Autism, a disease that was once almost unheard of, now an increasing occurrence with the FDA confirming this is a possibly from the Tetanus vaccine which most receive around 4 months-old, along with 5 other vaccines in that same month. These vaccines were believed to have been the cause for the end of these epidemics. However, as figure 1 illustrates, the significant decline in the disease happened before the vaccine was introduced to the population.

Private multibillion-dollar corporations such as Merck may not want us knowing about the reduced infection rate of a disease before the vaccine is introduced as they make billions selling these vaccines all around the world. These companies spend millions on pro-vaccine advertising campaigns so that society will continue to purchase vaccines as they believe it is what is best for the community as this is all they see. Vaccine injury compensation program are in place for those who are injured or die from vaccines, the compensation is often no cost to the company and in the rare occasion that there is a cost a few million has little effect on the company’s profits. Merck, the company that make a lot of its profits from the MMR vaccine which is usually prescribed to most children at the age of 12-18month and again at 2-6years old is currently under trial for manipulation test results. Merck states that the MMR vaccines has a 95% effectiveness. The FDA states that to be able to sell a Vaccine its effective needs to be 95% and above. However, before Merck added the rabbit antibodies to the trials the effectiveness sat around 79%. Companies that develop vaccines do their own testing, the FDA doesn’t currently have a lab for testing the effectiveness of new public health products making this an easily accessible area due to vaccines being a public health measure. Former Merck virologist Stephen Krahling states that Merck knew that the vaccines effectiveness was much lower than what they claimed so they produced a booster to make more revenue. That lowering the effectiveness more people will still become infected by the disease, preventing complete eradication.

 

Some people believe that those who don’t get vaccinated put others at risk of contracting these communicable diseases. Unfortunately, people who have reported to have had the vaccine have been said to contract the disease from the vaccine itself due to the live virus or bacteria within or from another that is infected. Such as the outbreak of Mumps in 2006 where 77% of people who were vaccinated with the MMR vaccine still contracted the virus. Due to vaccines not having 100% effectiveness and some companies falsifying test results, those who are vaccinated are still contracting the disease regardless.

 

In conclusion, vaccines should always be a choice as there are a lot more to them than just simply being injected with a cure. We should always have the choice if something has the potential to cause harm or death to ourselves or to others. That if vaccine reactions were rare there would be no need for programs such as the Vaccine injury compensation program. That these diseases had a significant decline before the vaccine was introduced shows that vaccines aren’t the only way of fighting a disease and more research is needed into the health of those vaccinated and unvaccinated. While large privately owned corporations are in charge of their own testing and regulations are weak due to vaccines being a public health measure, vaccines should not be compulsory.
