RE: Finish the following sentence: The MMR vaccine causes [BLANK]
There are side effects but they are rare. It is very unlikely that you will be reminded that you ever got an injection, but you will be immune (in absolutely most cases). In most cases I would suggest you trust nature’s design, our bodies are amazingly complex and still function better than most lawn mowers. However, nature also made bacteria who are great at infecting and overcoming immune systems. Vaccines are effective against many bacterial, and some viruses. A vaccine is not abolishing nature’s design by the way. Vaccination gives our body’s immune system a “clue” so that it can detect pathogenic markers (certain proteins, surface-sugar markers, cell membrane fragments) as soon as they managed to get across the primary barrier. These vaccines are great and scientifically shown to be effective. However, vaccines are being improved, making them safer and more effective. There is a vaccination concept using harmless bacteria that could be used to vaccinate against HIV. Vaccines could even stop bacteria in our nose by using bacteria that are already present. This is no magic, but using nature’s design.
Cheers!
HIV vaccination sounds great and makes a lot of sense.
It kind of feels like it shouldn't be an aspect of life that being sexually actively comes with a risk and needing to put on latex and all this annoying stuff :p
Like, we should be able to just play around like rabbits do.
I had never thought about the idea of a vaccination for that kind of thing, but it certainly seems intuitive to me.
Thanks for your answer.
Where people lose me and what doesn't seem intuitive to me is in the realm of "your baby is doomed (you're a bad parent etc) if you don't give them this"
Using vaccines when you choose to to make things better makes a lot of sense.
Well that HIV vaccine is still very far in the future, still very interesting.
No I got you! There’s a lot of weird tips out there, for health, wellbeing, etc. The problem is that most of these are private decisions, while refusing to get a vaccination could put others at risk. You can decide to do whatever you want as long as you are not harming others with that decision. That’s my stance.
Thank you for your reply and the kind upvote on my previous reply. Cheers!
This is a wonderful response, thank you!
