Anti vaccination movement
- 1. ANTI VACCINATION MOVEMENT Presented by:- Sakshi Dave PRK18BT3010 1st M.Sc. Microbiology
- 2. ALL STARTED WITH SMALPOX VACCINE- BECAUSE OF EDWARD JENNER Widespread of smallpox vaccine started in early 1800s,Edaward Jenner shows that he can cure the child by ingesting him with the lymph from cowpox blister. This leads to the rationale for the criticsm of his research and ultimately leads to Anti-Vaccination Movement
- 3. REASON OF STARTING OF ANTI-VACCINATION MOVEMENT There was one research paper released in late 1990s which lead to the anti-vaccination movement which claimed vaccines cause autism. It showed that there is a link in between in between Measles Mumps Rubella vaccine[MMR] an autism. They said that MMR vaccine causes malabsorption of nutrients which leads to Autism. Later on this research was found fake and the authors which were involved in this study has reported retracted the suggested links in this study.
- 5. ARGUMENTS RELATED TO VACCINES 1. Vaccines generally contains some chemicals like Aluminium[Al], Mercury[Hg] and Formaldehyde[CH2O]. These chemicals are toxic in nature. But what else can be toxic?? Water, Apple or too much of coffee can be toxic too. But it is proved by some pharmaceutical industries that the amount of these chemicals in vaccines is negligible. Some vaccines also contains some amount of Thimerosal which act as preservative for bacterial growth but that is also removed in 2001.
- 6. 2. Some people think that they don’t need to be vaccinated as to the best way to cure diseases is naturally.. Does it make sense?? As during infancy the child has given some kind of vaccination but it will not last long forever as our Immune system needs to be updated as an computer system so that Our body can fight against pathogens. Not for every disease we can give vaccination but we can vaccinate our body against most dangerous diseases.
- 7. 3. Some people think that if they will not be vaccinated what worse can happen f they get small pox, polio, measles also. But in 1967, Millions of deaths were reported because of small pox and because of the efforts of WHO it was eradicated by special vaccine for small pox. Polio was also reported as 13,000 to 20,000 cases per year in Unites States and due to this most of the children's has to use ventilators to breathe, wheelchairs to move around.
- 8. IMPORTANCE OF VACCINES AND BEING VACCINATED Vaccines protect you every single day and if you are not sick then you cannot spread disease to weaker immune system people particularly very young or old generation and those which have medical condtions and cannot be vaccinated. The more people are vaccinated the less ability of pathogen/antigen to spread. This principle is called as Herd immunity.
