Vaccinations

[olmstead...@student.oaklandcc.edu]

Should vaccinations be mandatory or be a personal choice? Either way is a gamble it seems. You should do what you can for preventive health measures, but also if you truly believe it will harm you or a loved one, do you just do what you're told without digging deeper? Vaccines have wiped out many horrible diseases, but with the growing amount of vaccines, are the long-term effects well known? We can read the ingredients on the CDC website, but some people don't know what they mean or know what they can cause to happen to your body chemistry. There is the fear though, also, that with people coming in and out of the country so much now (with easier travel access) some people may be immune to things or against vaccinations in their country and bring contagions to people who are used to antibiotics for everything and may have weakened their immune system. It's a broad topic filled with controversy and concern for public safety, but I don't think they should be forced, even with all the risk of spreading diseases.

I believe it should be by choice. Although i have received all of my vaccinations it was by choice, I work in a Dialysis clinic it is so important that i am vaccinated and get my flu shot yearly! I can understand people's concern with what they are administering into their bodies but I'm sure these do more help than harm to us at the end of the day.

I think vaccinations should be a choice like the flu shot, i didn't take one in 8 years and i didn't get sick. I can't take it anyways because i get sick as well as my family members have compromised immune systems and they will get more sick than me. so i choose not to, thats why i have not taken a vaccination. But i get the mandatory ones that they want you to get as you age. I got those.

I think it should be a choice, but as I work in a hospital with patient contact, it is mandatory to get a flu shot or wear a mask constantly for 12 hours- which is hard for me to breathe in for just 5 minutes in a room. So I reluctantly got a flu shot.

There should be no forced vaccination by law, however, those who choose not to vaccinate themselves or their children should expect to be excluded from certain things. Jobs in healthcare, as was mentioned, the privilege of being a patient of a doctor who is pro-vaccine, etc.

I believe that vaccination should be optional for each individual. I understand that there may be risk associated with not getting vaccinations,but I know that are even more risk with getting vaccinated. At the end of the day though it should be an optional choice and as long as the individual is living a healthy lifestyle to some degree it shouldn’t be mandatory. Regardless of vaccines or not if your gonna get sick,then your sick. Dying is apart of the cycle of life and vaccines are not proven to extend or decrease this process,therefore it should be optional,just as taking drugs. A person should have he personal choice if they want to put any foreign chemical in their body. It shouldn’t be mandatory.

For the ones that are deadly or cause severe impairment to the person's health than the vaccination should be mandatory but as long as there is no one that can die from something as simple as chicken pox I see no need to vaccinate people to things like that.

I think that while vaccinations shouldn't be forced, they should at least be strongly encouraged. The positives of vaccination easily outweigh the negatives.

I think that flu shot's should be a choice. But for vaccines for contagious diseases that are fairly lethal they should be required for the greater good.

I'm all for vaccination that prevent life threatening contagious diseases, although recently i read an article that discussed how vaccination doses have been increasing throughout time which makes it seem like it's all bs how pharmaceutical companies are coming up with all those drugs and call them 'required' and there's an added new dose every decade or so which makes them less reliable and makes us give it a second thought before trusting them.

I believe vaccinations should be mandatory; disease can spread very quickly and kill a tremendous amount of people. Looking back at society's not so distant past, disease has wiped out millions of people and without vaccinations those diseases could become relevant once again. The benefits vaccinations offer far out-way the risks in my opinion.

Vaccinations should be a personal choice. No one should have to get something injected into them if they think they'll be better off without it. Also, some people prefer to live naturally with little to no medications.

I don't think they should be mandatory overall but I do agree they should be mandated in specific instances. Just as an example, I work in a hospital and we are required to be vaccinated not only to protect ourselves but others who aren't able to receive vaccinations due to medical issues. I am in support of vaccinations and am informed of the risks involved. There has been a resurgence of certain diseases that have not been an issue for quite some time due to those who haven't been vaccinated. I respect the choices others make for themselves and their families but I also have seen many suffer severe illness from this. Overall I believe we should absolutely have a choice of what enters our bodies but everyone should be informed of all aspects of this issue not just how it impact themselves but others around them.

They should be a choice, however giving a developing child multiple shots in a short amount of time is going to mess them up one way or another

Vaccinations should be a personal choice. It is YOUR body, it is your choice what chemicals to put into it. A number of vaccines do more harm than good. When I was in high school I received a shot that I should have said no to, I had mono for 6 months straight and lost all my strength. I missed my last semester of high school, I would not wish that upon anyone. I am still dealing with health consequences of that one shot almost ten years later.

I believe vaccinations should be mandatory in order for kids to go to school or day care.  Negative outcomes from vaccinations are still a lot better than what they are protecting from.

Without going off on a huge rage, vaccinations are a MUST unless you want to not only cause issues for your own health but for everyone else around you. Parents that choose not to vaccinate their children are more or less signing their death certificate right then and there. People who believe that children should not be vaccinated should not have the right to bear children in the first place.

Dr Andrew Moulden was the person who " scientifically proved" that vaccines do harm  and set a big turmoil within many countries. His work was rejected by conventional medicine but people still believe his findings are accurate... People, just think about it why would conventional medicine reject his work? thousands of doctors and researchers around the globe insist that Moulden was a fraud and that vaccines are a must! why everyone believes one person? doctors and researchers that have truthful and accurate findings -are getting Nobel prizes once their work is verified; Moulden instead was only ashamed by the medical community. get into this subject deeply before you deny a vaccine. it is a matter of public safety and well being!
