Perhaps, it is Beyond Question We should Vaccinate

    Perhaps it should be beyond question that we should vaccinate. Smallpox has been swept from the world, eradicated, thanks to vaccines. Polio, measles and tetanus have largely been limited. If you can sweep a disease off the face of the earth, then, of course, that is a good thing.

   What, then, of the thought the body might become dependent upon vaccines -- that it might send signals searching for a vaccine that has been placed in the body instead of sending signals to create its own immunitities? Thus, vaccines short-ciruit the body's own natural defenses. This might possibly be true. But, even so, you then only become sick when you contact a virus without having been inoculated, same as you would if there were no vaccine. Perhaps, eventually, finding no vaccine within the body, the body does then start creating its own immunities.
