The Dangers Of Vaccines

There are plenty of convincing arguments that lead us to an understanding of the dangers of vaccines and the hazards of the government forcing them. “About 30,000 cases of adverse reactions to vaccines have been reported annually to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) since 1990, with 10-15% classified as serious, meaning associated with permanent disability, hospitalization, life-threatening illness, or death” (VAERS). These facts are a sad truth. The fact that 30,000 people have lifelong problems now due to the adverse reaction to the vaccines is sad. Because of these reactions there were compensations made to make these side effects justified. “Between 1989 and July 1, 2014, 3,645 compensation awards have been made by the

This is not too convincing due to the fact that it says “may be associated with” because there is not real proof, but it is a speculation. Something that is alarming for me and should be alarming for you is that the Center for Disease Control and Protection has an entire page dedicated to the many possible side effects of vaccinations. In this case it is important to weigh the possible side effects with the positive benefits of being vaccinated. All of this enthralling data and facts can show us that vaccines can cause serious or sometime fatal side effects. As we develop our thoughts about the serious and sometimes fatal reactions that can occur from vaccines we must also look at the ingredients that these vaccines contain. Regarding the harmful ingredients found in vaccines, the American Academy of Pediatrics published a policy, Aluminum Toxicity in Infants and Children, that said too much “Aluminum can cause neurological harm” (AAP2). There were tests conducted that proved that there was neurological brain impairment because of aluminum in the

Now that we have looked at the many arguments for and against vaccines, we will now take a stance on the controversial issue. There used to be the ability to exempt your children from vaccinations due to religious reason, but that is not longer allowed due to the new law recently passed. How can this new law do this when the First Amendment of the US Constitution says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" (FirstAmendment). The government just went right over the constitution and made a law without seeking approval from the constitution. Mary Baker Eddy made a bold statement and said that the "calm, Christian state of mind is a better preventative of contagion than a drug, or than any other possible sanative method… the ‘perfect Love’ that ‘casteth out fear’ is a sure defense" (Vidula). This goes right along with the freedom of religion. We should be able to believe what we want and the government should not be able to control what is done to
