Vaccines

Page 1 of 3

The reason for such a good effect on diseases is because it simply does three things that prevent the disease from gaining anymore power. Those things are; it builds a better immunity, prevents the spread, and helps the body figure out the antibody that is needed to combat the disease in specific situations. The third reason playing one of the biggest roles causes some skepticism.

That brings us to toxicity. Many people claim that they do not want to get or give vaccines to anyone in their family because of the negative side effects. They have questioned certain chemicals such as; Thimerosal, Formaldehyde, Phenoxyethanol, and Human Albumin, which are known to have a low probability of a bad reaction, but major effects. These chemicals have been linked to reproductive deformation, AIDS, Autism, and the shutdown of the central nervous system. The effects are major, but the chances of the bad reaction happening are a 1 out of 1,000,000 chance. For example, tests have been done on Pertussis and Tetanus, the chance to have a severe reaction that could be fatal was also 1 out of 1,000,000, but people do not also realize that there have been many revisions done to certain vaccines that contained the chemicals reducing them to minimal amounts. This has changed the odds to less than 1% having an allergic reaction to a vaccine. People also fail to notice that a healthy person will have a lessened chance of having a severe reaction. The bad reaction that vaccines do have a because of the way a person treats their own body. That is not always the case and the reaction could be due to an unnecessary amount of a chemical.

Thimerosal a mercury-containing preservative used in some vaccines has been linked to causing autism. It has been said that high doses of thimerosal to infants is the cause of autism. It is true that these high doses can cause major effects such as; a slower social development, a slower emotional development, and a slower ability to communicate. Thimerosal is in the vaccines that are given to babies a little after they are born. This is claimed to allow the brain disorders to evolve as natural behavior, and making the child autistic. Even though Thimerosal has been linked to Autism by claims, it has no scientific backing. The claims have actually been proven wrong by science. Thimerosal contains a type of mercury called Ethyl Mercury. This chemical is known to be one chemical that can be cleared out of the body quickly and easily without damage. Due to the major objections to the chemical the amounts of Thimerosal
