The Vaccine Debate: Who’s Winning, Who’s Losing?

May 15, 2024
  • Vaccinations are complete failures; they don’t prevent the diseases they are purported to but continue in use because they mean big profits for the drug companies.
  • Unvaccinated kids are healthier with fewer incidences of allergies, autism, behavioral problems, autoimmune dysfunction and respiratory problems.
In 2010, Lancet retracted the study, and Wakefield lost his medical license because he didn’t disclose his consultant role to lawyers for anti-vaxxers.

This anti-vaxxer sentiment has persuaded groups of people, and it shows in the rate of vaccinations of school-aged children in different states. Rhode Island had the highest 2013 immunization rate at 82 percent. Arkansas had the lowest at 57 percent. This, believe experts, is an outbreak waiting to happen.

"The bottom line is that vaccine refusers tend to cluster geographically," said Saad Omer, an epidemiologist and professor at Emory University who studies immunizations. "And what that does is it provides that critical mass of susceptible individuals that can trigger an outbreak."  About 50,000  people die of vaccine-preventable diseases a year in this country.

There are people in some communities who think that people against vaccines should be open to lawsuits for damages by a party who contracted the disease, or that criminal charges could be considered. One health care professional has said that the government’s interest in protecting children and society from these diseases should override the parent’s interest in making medical decisions for their child.

The Truth About Vaccines

Vaccines primarily are composed of suspending fluids, stabilizers and preservatives. The fluids typically include sterilized water or saline solution. Stabilizers protect the vaccine from adverse conditions such as high temperatures. They are usually sugars such as sucrose and lactose, the amino acid glycine and MSG, an amino acid salt that naturally occurs in the body. Preservatives used include phenol, a disinfectant. Another chemical related to phenol is used in vaccines and also cosmetics. Anti-vaccine believers say these mixtures cause much of the problems in vaccines. Not true, say experts.
