Immunization Study Pros And Cons

The last thing I saw was my alarm clock flashing 1:07 AM before her rancid hands gripped my mouth shut. She dug her nails into my chest, muffling my plait of agony with her other hand.

The fact that this study was to uncover the outcome of syphilis, justified that it was harming many individuals because it would later benefit America as a whole. Just because it was socially acceptable at the time, does not give them the right to conduct this study. There are ways that they could have run a similar study without violating the rights of the participants. For one, they could have designed the study that followed a universal code of ethics.

The history of research ethics begins with tragic historical cases of unethical research and how they contributed toward present values and ethics in research. One of these historical tragic studies was the Tuskegee Syphilis Study conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service in Macon County, Alabama. This post will discuss the unethical behavior of that study.

This article was discredited because there was no careful research to prove the hypothesis. (Rao & Andrade, 2011, para 1). The research I would say was very insensitive and unethical, a cruel ploy for financial gain without any serious consideration of the ramifications. In my opinion the immunization study definitely caused the most harm.

This ethical misconduct is a nightmare. I feel sorry for the parents and the children. The sad part is that many believed his research. It also sparked the death of children due to Measles and a decline in vaccinations for years. (Harmon, K., 2010). Retractions has been done, regardless the issue still exist, along with ongoing debate of vaccinations for children.

Vaccines have been a hugely debated topic since their first conception in the late 18th century. Many have questioned their effectiveness and have doubted the science behind them; they have become a topic of doubt and fear. Despite this, the science behind vaccines is there, open to the public. Others say they cause more problems than they remedy. We will need to analyze all the perspectives to get a full view of the pros and cons to making vaccinations mandatory. Should vaccines be a mandatory procedure in the United States, or should the system stay as it is, that is, people being able to opt out of vaccinations on religious, philosophical, and medical grounds?

In my opinion I feel like a study like this shouldn’t be allowed to be done because it wasn’t doing anything but harming the participants. Even if they didn’t have syphilis the researches were harming them. Studies are supposed to be beneficial and are supposed to find results for the experiment being done, but after reading about The Tuskegee Study it just seems like the only

Although the case study was discredited and the authors found guilty of ethical violations, it is very difficult to refute a published paper among the general public. Once the information is out there, correct or not, it is not easy to take it back. This publication has also done damage to the scientific community as a whole, with questions about funding and sponsorship being raised. Are we being given all of the facts and findings? Are studies being conducted in order to prove a hypothesis instead of challenge

Mandated Vaccinations are a huge argument right now because of health and disease issues. There are people on both sides of this argument. Some people are against vaccinating their children because they feel they are being forced to have their child get vaccinated. While some people feel the need that vaccinations are important to protect themselves from any illness or diseases. Vaccinations should be mandatory for all schools and health care purposes.

People always have their own values and beliefs about social issues that arise in our society. Some of these issues have been a problem for several centuries and we haven’t been properly informed to know what causes certain epidemics. One of the problems is the question whether people should vaccinate or not. Opposition of vaccinations have existed since the 1800s, it has only been these past few years that I have started to hear about the increasing negative feedback about vaccinations. The terms pro-vaccination and anti-vaccination were introduced to me recently through the medias discussion about the two. The reason people are for or against vaccinations is based on many different unanswered questions such as, religion, research, personal incident, and other values people have about the subject. I will be discussing the benefits of vaccinations versus not taking vaccinations and bringing both of the ideas together by responding to a YouTube debate.

Throughout history, millions of people have died or have been debilitated from diseases like polio, smallpox, and measles. (include source) Vaccines have prevented the continuation of such diseases, saving millions of lives in the process. Yet, many parents still decide to not vaccinate their children because they have been influenced by the potential misinformation they find on social media regarding the possible risks of vaccinating (Buchanan & Beckett, 2014). Regardless of the research that tells of the possible risks of vaccinating, there is research proving that there are risks to not vaccinating.

If you had the choice, would you prefer a child with autism or a deceased child because you refused to vaccinate? Chances are, you would prefer to have a child with autism. There are parents who have read articles falsely linking vaccines to autism causing them to make the decision to deny vaccinations. Their refusal not only puts their child at risk, but other children surrounding them. Their denial erases the long-standing history of saving lives and the eradication of deadly diseases around the world. This also undermines the research and testing scientists have done in order to protect people. It is vital to the health of human life that we keep researching and finding new information about vaccines.

Should children be vaccinated? This is a question that has been a hot topic for some time now. All children should be vaccinated. We often ask “Why should we have our children vaccinated”? There are pros and cons to vaccinations. Vaccinations will reduce the risk of illness, provide a safer environment, and keep the parents from worry as much. In some cases, people think they cause more harm than anything.

The requirement by the United States for childhood vaccines and immunizations has been a long standing debate amongst both families and communities within the United States. Throughout this persistent debate there have been influential and iconic spokesmen and women for and against the vaccination of children. To better understand why this is such a thoroughly argued topic of discussion throughout the country, you must first delve into the immune system and garner an understanding of how our bodies fight disease, as well as, what constitutes a vaccine.

The debate over vaccinations continues to dominate the public health domain, with parties on both sides of the aisle taking a strong stance in their views. On one side, there are critics that identify personal reasons or beliefs to utilize exemptions from vaccinating a child. On the other side, there are advocates who recognize serious illnesses and diseases that societies could be exposed to and promote vaccinations to aid in preventing the spread of such infections. Understanding the concerns raised from both sides, my perspective on this issue must side with that of scientific-based evidence. There are numerous studies from various public health organizations and researchers that validate childhood vaccinations supporting preventable
