In British Columbia, there has been a spike in H1N1
flu cases, meaning that people are rushing to be vaccinated. One person has
died in a possible case of H1N1 and about forty people have been hospitalize,
approximately thirty of them in intensive care.
Some people are for the
vaccinations, they believe it is a good idea. They say that immunizations can
save children’s lives because of the advances made in medical science. Some
diseases that once injured or killed thousands of children have been eliminated
completely and others are close to extinction, primarily due to safe and
effective vaccines. This has been said because vaccines are only given to
children after a long and careful review done by scientists, doctors and
healthcare professionals.
However, others are completely
against it. They say that pharmaceutical companies can’t be trusted. An example
would be the hormone replacement therapy for women. It was claimed to reduce
the risk of heart attacks and cancer and even helped them feel younger.
Instead, their breast cancer risk doubled for the women who were on HRT, the
risk of stroke was increased by 41% and there was also a 29% increased risk of
heart attacks. The vaccines are loaded with chemicals and other poisons, such
as MSG, antifreeze, phenol, formaldehyde, aluminum, glycerin, lead, cadmium,
sulfates, yeast proteins, antibiotics, and much more. Also, some vaccines have
had problems and have been removed from the market. An example would be the
Rotavirus vaccine, which was removed from the market in 1999 due to an
association between the vaccine and life threatening bowel obstruction.
In my opinion, vaccinations are not a good idea because they can be very dangerous to people.
They are harmful to our bodies, and to inject it directly into our blood does
not make matters any better. From what I have learned, vaccines are filled with
chemicals, and to put that into our bodies, hoping that it will keeps us
healthy, it may just make you worse.

Hi Amy! Great job on your post. I like how you put a lot of detail, as well as specific examples (for example, listing the types of chemicals found in vaccines), in your post. However, you should indicate how your references helped you. Overall, though, you wrote a very thorough post about the H1N1 vaccine and whether it should be injected in people or not. Good work!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy! Good job on the improvement, compared to the first response.I think you could be more clear on your thoughts on vaccines, perhaps add more detail or supporting ideas, since just saying one idea isn't enough. Try looking at different points of views perhaps? But good job overall! Keep up the good work.
