VACCINATION

Vaccination can be defined as the injection of weak disease-causing agents that help the body develop immunity. According to this definition, vaccination seems like an essential contribution to human health; however, that is not the whole story. Today, this topic has become a disputed issue among authorities: whether vaccination is as innocent as it seems or not is once more being debated. While some scientists believe that vaccination is necessary for maintaining public health, the others argue that individuals have a right to control their own bodies. As far as I am concerned, mandatory vaccination is a dangerous and unfeasible policy which is implemented by the governments.

Those who think that mandatory vaccination should not be a government  policy claim that  vaccination might cause diseases such as autism.  This argument is so serious that recent research shows that one out of every hundred kids suffers from autism in USA due to erroneous vaccination techniques. Moreover, not only children but also parents are affected in a bad way by autism. This disease is a really difficult situation for most parents psychologically and materially. As a result, governments’ bottom line is the dollar, parents’ bottom line is their children.

Those who agree that compulsory vaccination should not be implemented by the government maintain that parents should have a say in their kids’ health. They are totally right. After all, who knows the children better the government or the parents? Of course, the  parents. If someone is a mom and if she is educated and she does not want her kid to be vaccinated, she should have that choice. Yes, she is not a doctor yet she has a brain.

However, those who disagree that mandatory vaccination should not be implemented by the government assert that vaccination prevents disease outbreaks for future generations. It is the most crucial task of vaccination and to a certain extent they are right. On the other hand, governments had better think about today’s generation instead of future generations since there is a problem about vaccination today which the government should come to grips with.

To cut a long story short, based upon the aforesaid ideas, there have been many moot points that have turned scientists against each other concerning compulsory vaccination. I firmly believe that vaccination is russian roulette really because a host of children today tragically die due to vaccination. In spite of these arguments, it seems to me that this dilemma will continue to be discussed for a long time in medical science.
