Arguments For & Against Vaccinations:
This is what people in favor of vaccinations say:
- Vaccinations are the best protection against dangerous diseases for the person who has been vaccinated
- Vaccinations protect people who associate with the person who has been vaccinated against contagion
- Vaccinations can prevent epidemics or limit them
- Maximum protection and minimal risk
- Side-effects are rare
- Vaccinations prevent large numbers of deaths – in other words increase life expectancy
- Vaccinations can completely eradicate diseases
- Vaccinations are among of safest medications
- Children have a right to be vaccinated
This is what people who are critical of vaccinations say:
- Vaccinations are undoubtedly capable of causing severe side effects (see the individual vaccinations)
- Long-term effects of vaccinations have never been and are still not investigated
- Vaccination trials are virtually only performed by companies that manufacture the vaccines
- Vaccination trials only compare vaccines with other vaccines and do not compare vaccines to placebos
- There are virtually no independent trials (and if there are, their results all vary)
- Vaccination trials that do not come to a good conclusion financed by pharmaceutical companies are not made public
- Trials that get vaccinations approved remain the secret of the manufacturers
- Proof that vaccinations are effective largely depends on statistics and the rise of antibodies
- The formation of antibodies is equated with vaccination protection
- Children’s diseases are unpleasant but are not dangerous for healthy children
- Children who have been vaccinated are not healthier than children who have not been vaccinated
- Vaccinations are a business that is based on the fear of sickness
- The result of suppressing acute diseases (vaccinated children diseases) is a rise in chronic disease
- Having children’s diseases during childhood protects against serious diseases during adulthood
