Vaccination Is Not Immunization: Immunization is Long-Term, Vaccination is Short-Term
Natural Immunity works very differently than Artificial Vaccination.
Look at the Natural Immunity Cycle Below:
Baby is protected by Mother's Natural Immunity -- Child develops life-long immunity by exposure to mild illnesses like chickenpox and measles -- Adult is protected during a stage of life when complications could be more serious -- Pregnant mother and fetus are protected
"Vacca" is the Latin word for cow. It is the root word for 'vaccination'. The first vaccine was created from cow pus and injected into humans.
Vaccinate: To inject an antigen, such as dead bacteria or a mild virus in order to create antibodies that will protect the vacinee from disease caused by the antigen. The antigen, together with its liquid medium, is called a vaccine.
Vaccination never develops into a natural immunity. Immune means exempt. It means that you aren't supposed to get that disease again. Yet there is not one vaccine that offers protection longer than 10 years. Vaccines wane within 2 to 10 years.
Actual immunization happens ONCE and is usually life-long . Before vaccination, when people said that they were "immune" to measles, they meant that they had been exposed to the actual measles and never again had to worry about it until the day they died.
Up until recently, everyone assumed that vaccination gave lifelong immunity. For example, the first measles vaccine was put on the schedule as a one-time dose. As it became obvious that the shot was waning, another dose was added, and another.
When there is an outbreak because the vaccines have worn off, you will now see adults being told to go back and get yet another booster.
Be on the lookout as plans are being rolled out to push and even enforce adult vaccination for the same vaccines that they got as a child.
Immunity Definition (epidemiology): A person who is not susceptible to infection by a particular disease

As this advertisement shows, you will continue to need vaccine boosters throughout all stages of life -- because you never ever did have "Immunization" -- you only had "Vaccination."
So here's how it boils down for me ...
I would rather have measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox as a child (which I did), be sick for a week at a time, get better and be done with it.
I don't want to get boosters every 2-5 years for the rest of my entire life for each of those vaccines.
Vaccines ALL have potentially serious adverse reactions and can even result in death. One might consider the risk acceptable if you could get one vaccine and be good for life. But considering that the number of recommended vaccines are going to keep growing and growing, and you will need to get boosters for all those vaccines every 2-5 years for the duration of your life ... the risk of vaccines is easily not worth it from my point of view.
If you are not aware of the risks that each and every vaccine poses, then please read my earlier Steemit Article:
Did Your Doctor Give You the Required Vaccine Packet Insert?
Regular Vaccine Boosters for Life is certainly a good business model for the Pharmaceutical Companies though.

Vaccines - How Long Does Immunity Last?
I have seen the vax /anti-vax arguments ad nauseam. Very clear and concise common sense the pro vax crowd might understand. Thank you
Thank-you for reading it and I'm glad that you found it clear and simple.
All the best!
It always amazes me how many people take vaccines and have no idea what any of the ingredients are!
Very important explanation that people should see. I would like your permission to translate it into Serbian.
Thank-you lighteye. Yes, you can translate it into Serbian. It would be great for more people to see this information.
the point is that measles is highly contagious and puts others at risk, who may be unknowingly susceptible to the worst of it. It doesnt make logical sense to say 'it's ok for kids to get and spread measles' yet worry about the small statistic of kids who are supposedly adversely affected by vaccine. That is less than the kids who have serious problems with measles
Right now adults are spreading measles and mumps, because their vaccines have worn off. To be consistent with your beliefs, you should be insisting that all adults (other than those like myself who have had measles and mumps) MUST get the booster every 2 years or so. Because right now those vaccinated adults pose as much risk of spreading measles as unvaccinated children do.
My point is that measles is the mildest as children. But now we see regular outbreaks of mumps amongst vaccinated college students! And pretty soon there will be senior citizens who no longer have natural immunity to measles or mumps who will start coming down with it at a very dangerous time of life.
I believe that the whole idea of vaccinating for measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox was poorly thought out as to the long-term consequences.
We have postponed the almost zero risk of a child being damaged by those illnesses (in developed countries) onto age groups that are much more vulnerable. The vaccinations have also made fetuses and newborns more vulnerable, because in the past their mothers had real immunity that protected them.
then adults should get ther boosters and protect them. Likely healthcare workers have to, like the flu shot
At least you are consistent in your beliefs. Most adults would refuse to get all those vaccines though, so I don't see how this "herd Immunity" will ever be achieved unless all the adults get onboard. I just don't see adults volunteering for continuous jabs. So until then, there isn't much point in forcing other people's kids to get them either.
I dont think there is much promotion and informing on some boosters as is the flu vaccine.
I remember getting the chicken pox, looking it up now there is vaccination for it...the rate of infection matched the rate of everyone being born. is a vaccine preferable to that I dont know.
... plus it is not just kids damaged by vaccines. It is adults also. So everytime that an adult has to get more boosters, they are putting themselves at risk of vaccine damage. Read the vaccine inserts to see what some of those adverse reactions are -- things like arthritis and asthma and worse. So, like I said, if a vaccine was once for all and good for life, the risk of one single injection might be worth it ... but the ongoing risk of each and every vaccine booster throughout all stages of life is not worth it in my opinion.
