Do Vaccines Prevent Diseases?

In some cases people find that vaccinations to a poor job in protecting the body from colds and other serious diseases.  In Germany hospitals stopped requiring pertussis (whooping cough) vaccination. Today less than 10 % of German children are vaccinated against pertussis. The number of cases of pertussis has decreased even though less children are receiving pertussis vaccine.

Meanwhile, measles outbreaks have occurred in schools with vaccination rates over 98 % in all parts of the U.S. including areas that had reported no cases of measles for years. As measles immunization rates rise to high levels measles becomes a disease seen only in people who has been vaccinated. Can you believe? In 1986 there were 1300 cases of pertussis in Kansas and 90 % of these cases occurred in children who had been vaccinated. Similar vaccine failures have been reported from Nova Scotia where pertussis continues to be occurring despite universal vaccination. Pertussis remains endemic in the Netherlands where 96 % of children have received 3 pertussis shots between the 3 months and 12 months of age.

 

Why Do Vaccines Fail To Protect Against Diseases?

   

   According to Walene James, the author of Immunization: the Reality Behind The Myth, "Vaccines trick the body so it does not complete inflammatory response to the injected virus."

In my opinion vaccines do help some diseases, but I do feel that vaccines are not the first solution to protect someone from getting an infection. People have to be aware of how to treat their body as well.

For example, I know a few people who would wear tank tops with shorts on a 47 degree weather day, that can get you severely sick. What some people don't know is that, you can catch a cold that way and sometimes colds lead to ammonia. I have a friend who would never wear her jacket during the winter time and I always encouraged her to wear, but she insisted that she never gets sick. A few months later my friend got ammonia and she couldn't attend school for a few weeks. Situations like that, shows that we can't put all the blame on vaccinations, but we as people need to know how to treat our bodies appropriately.

Can You Deal With An Autistic Child?????

                                                                                                 

     As a parent, I can't imagine myself dealing with an autistic child. I just don't think I would have the patience to deal with an autistic child. How about you? Since there is a possible link between vaccinations and autism, I don't I'm going to want my child to have any vaccinations. This way both my child and I can avoid any kind of diseases or infections that comes from vaccines.

     Some people might think to themselves,"why avoid vaccinations, they protect children from outside infections?" But what some people fail to understand is that vaccines nowadays are full with harmful chemicals that is beneficial for an adult's immune system but dangerous for a child's immune system. By the way, not all vaccinations are necessary but people just take them because doctors recommend them. Do you think that everything a doctor recommends is beneficial? I know some people who literally do every single thing that a doctor tells them to do. Are you that person? The doctor may say that a patient needs about five vaccinations in order to be safe from swine flu or a simple cold. I guarantee you that the patient will make sure he or she takes those five vaccinations to stay away from those risks.

 

After all of the potential diseases and infections out there, should we as people get vaccinations? It is possible that vaccines can cause any kind of disease or speical condition?

 Opportunities For Autistic Children.....


  Rochelle and Ian Yankwitt were thrilled when their son Casey was born, but a few months after his birth, Casey failed to respond to his name or make any kind of communication, his mother recalled in an interview. "I thought he was deaf, "Ms. Yankwitt said but tests showed nothing wrong with his hearing. Instead at 14 months, Casey was diagnosis of autism. His parents both lawyers, wasted no time in setting up early intervention treatments speech and occupational therapy, which is an special education provided by New York State for developmentally disabled children. How would you react if  your child started to act unusual.

 

    Laura Schreibman, a psychologist who is the director of the Autism Research Program at the University of California, San Diego, and the author of "The Science and Fiction of Autism", explains that there are possible treatments that can help autistic children but  it has to be individualized.   
    What works to reduce symptoms in one child may or may not help another. Autism is highly variable with periodic improvements and regressions and most children receive several therapies at once.

    Dr. Schreibman felt that the only approach that has been scientifically validated to help, though by no means cure, autistic children is behavioral intervention that mimics the way normal children learn. For example, if the child wants to play with a toy car, the therapists holds it and encourages the child to say "car". How creative is that?  If the child makes the "c" sound, he is given the car to play with. The next session may required the child to say "car". This way, the child can develop communication and interaction skills.

Thought Questions:

1. Do you think this behavioral process will help improve communication skills for children with autistic characteristics?

2. What other processes do you think will help develop a child's communication skills?

3. Do you think having a child with autism is more difficult than having a normal child?

What Is Autism?????

       Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and communication and by repetitive behavior. These signs all begin before a child is three years old. Autism affects information processing in the brain by altering how nerve cells and their synapses connect and organize.

   Parents usually notice signs in the first two years of their child's life. The signs usually develop gradually, but some autistic children first develop more normally and then regress. Although, early behavioral or cognitive intervention can help autistic children gain self-care, social and communication skills, there is no known cure for autism. Not many children with autism live independently after reaching adulthood but there are some who becomes successful.

      Denise Daniels was told that her autistic child will never be able to hold a job, earn a living, or even live on his own or have a family. How sad is that?  As a parent, Denise refused to believe that her son would never be able to succeed in school or even become successful, so she pushed forward and got her son the best education he needed. She says, "The son that was told he would never focus in a classroom, graduated from high school with honors and attend community college until he decided that he wanted a job." Wow can you a imagine and autistic kid being so successful? Overall, there is no limit to how successful a disabled child can be.

Videos on  successful and independent autistic people:

Autistic children have special sides to them, but there are somethings that autistic people are good at and they have a creative way of living and becoming successful.


Questions to think about:

1.Can you imagine what it's like to be autistic?
2. Do you think you as an individual would succeed being autistic?
3. Besides the rumors of autism, what do you think is the cause?
4. Can Autism be cured?

Do Vaccines Cause Autism?



    What do you think causes autism? Is it something you think a person just end up having? Are vaccinations the problem? Are doctors the problem or are the chemicals in a vaccines the issue?

     A parent with an autistic child may come up with numerous questions on why their child has autism and what can be the cause of it. Most people blame it on the doctors, some blame it on the vaccines and other just don't know. Although there isn't an actual thing that causes autism, but vaccines are one of the highest risks of someone having autism.

    Parents with autistic children are observing the damages done by vaccines, while doctors are more worried about unvaccinated children.
  Lisa Rudley, a mother who has filed a claim in "Vaccine Court" asserts that shots caused her son's autism. She said "While, I watched my son descend into illness and later he ended up having autism" (1). Next Jon Poling, a parent who successfully petitioned the Vaccine Court on behalf of his daughter Hannah, writes in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, "We should be investing our research dollars into discovering environmental factors that we can change like mercury, aluminum, several drugs, dietary factors, infectious agents and of course vaccines" (1). Jon is 100% right. Parents need to be more aware of whats going on in their children's lives; instead of depending on doctors to inform them on what can go wrong with their child's medical needs. Not acknowledging the environmental things that can harm people, can not only cause autism but other diseases as well. This links gives you can idea on what majority of people are saying about the causes of autism.

After seeing the video what do you think? Does autism really come from vaccinations or is it an environmental problem? As a result, it is easier to blame the cause of autism on vaccines and chemicals that are composed in vaccines, but the truth is no one really knows.

Why Do People Think Vaccinations are Connected to Autism?????

    Some people feel that vaccines has a lot to do with children or people getting autism. Why is that? As you my not know, vaccines are composed of different kinds of chemicals that is placed right into your blood stream. It can be harmful chemicals or beneficial chemicals. One of the things that vaccines carry is Thimersol which is harmful to people. Another suspicion linking vaccinations to autism comes from the amount of vaccinations children receives when they are getting vaccinated. 

     According to this link, pay attention to the different kinds of vaccines the doctor gives this infant. And ask yourself what chemicals are in those vaccines composed of? Why does this infants need all of those vaccines?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkhvC80zNVI

       Around 1985 infants were receiving about four vaccinations per visit, but now children are receiving about eleven vaccinations that contain Thimersol. That is way too many shots don't you think?. In a review that I read, a physician requested to remain anonymous when he said "In the 80s, children received eight vaccinations in their early childhood, but now children are getting up to thirty vaccinations." Can you imagine, thirty vaccinations that contain different chemicals that can harm you in different ways? 

     In that case twenty years from now children can easily be receiving forty vaccinations and because some people in the medical community endorse this, parents will vaccinate their children without knowing the risks of it. Parents assume that vaccines are protecting their children from diseases when really, it increases their risk of getting a disease or even autism.

Vaccinations are encouraged because unvaccinated children aren't allowed to attend school, so that's why children are at risk of catching something. In that case, parents will do anything they can to get their children admitted in school. As for myself my parents always told me that I had to get my hepatitis B shot for going to school even though I hated getting shots. Personally I didn't see a difference of getting the shot and not getting the shot. Although I was vaccinated, I didn't feel different from the other kids and I always ended up getting sick anyway.

   

    Some how getting a vaccine was suppose to keep me from getting sick from other children, but I must say that the facts of this stereotype is completely false. Because all people get sick and sometimes the chemicals in a vaccine can be the cause of getting someone sick or even getting a severe disease.

Vaccination Vs. Autism

Vaccinations Vs. Autism

Why do people trust doctors and the medicine they provide? Are we aware of what those medications and vaccinations contain? Believe it or not, vaccination have a huge role in why some children have autism.

Generally parents are told to have their children vaccinated so that they won't be a victim of any kind of disease. Schools even emphasis that unvaccinated children cannot attend public schools. Because schools have this crazy policy, it puts children at risk of getting autism or any other disease that vaccines carry.





     Before 1980, autism was diagnosed in just 1 out of every 10,000 children. By 2001, the National Institute of Health reported that autism disorders affect one in every 250 children and that number is estimated to increase 10% each year. Can you believe that? That means children are at risk of getting autism at birth. Since children get vaccinated, more and more families have children with autism. For example, Denise Daniels have a son who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 5, and her daughter was diagnosed at the age of 4. During her visits to the doctor she would always be questioned, "Did you have any unusual things that happened during of your child" or "Did you have your child vaccinated"? But due to the lack of knowledge Denise had regarding autism, she answered all the questions without thinking of the kinds of vaccinations her children received when they were first born.

    With the rumors of autism and vaccinations growing, more and more families have children with autism including celebrities like Jenny McCarthy and parents are postponing doctor appointments and vaccination schedules to the point where some parents don't make vaccination appointments at all.

The first connection with autism and vaccinations comes through a preservative called Thimerosal. Thimerosal is a preservative that is found in many vaccinations. It contains  47% of ethyl mercury and mercury has proven to cause neurological damage. Mercury is the second most harmful natural substance to humans.

Believe it or not, Autism and autistic spectrum disorders are neurological disorders. Scientific researchers claim that vaccinations no longer have thimerosal. But is that a fact? Although new vaccinations are being created without thimerosal, vaccinations containing the preservative are still being administered throughout the country.

Why Do People Get Vaccinations????

Sometimes I Hate Getting Vaccines!!!!!

When ever my mom reminds me about going to the doctor to get a flu shot or even a blood test, my heart drops. I really don't know why that happens, I don't think I have a phobia of needles, but I do know that I hate getting vaccines or anything that has to do with getting a shot.

I could never be a diabetic because seeing my grandma give herself a little shot to check her diabetes twice a day is way to much pain for me in my eyes. The procdeure of check your blood sugar is by giving yourself a little shot in order for your blood to flow out of your skin. Personally, I couldn't do it. Everytime I visit, she always ask me to check her blood sugar for her before she eats. I would think to myself "oohh lord your going to hurt yourself." Then I would check her blood and she wouldn't move, shake or scream. I asked "grandma doesn't it hurt when I check your blood?" And she always said "no honey I'm used to it." Then I thought wow your used to shots? What do you think, can you ever get used to giving yourself a little shot twice a day? Well I couldn't because I hate the thought of shots,



Although I hate shots and vaccinations, I realize that there are certain kinds of medicine that can only be given directly in my bloodstream. When getting a shot or a vaccination do you think about the pain or the reward in the long run? As for me I think of the annoying pinch I recieve after the doctor tells me to stay still or stay calm. For some reason, everytime I have to get a shot my heart starts racing, and it gets even worse when the medical assistant calls my name. My nerves get even worse when the doctor walks in the room with gloves on and asks me questions like, "How you doing today." Thats when you know for sure that there is no turning back. Then when the doctor gets all set up, he'll say "Just breathe and stay calm." I never found that to be helpful at all.

I decided to ask a few people how they felt about getting a shot or a vaccine, and 30 percent said that shots aren't as bad as they thought. While 40 percent, doesn't mind getting shots or giving blood. But about 20 percent of people stated that they hated getting, looking or even thinking about getting a shot. Overall, even though people like me hate getting shots or vaccines, its a beneficial way of preventing sickness and other kinds of diseases.
