A Personal Decision
- Alan V. Schmukler
The question of whether to vaccinate is a personal and often
difficult decision. One
has to weigh the danger of the disease and the chance of
contracting it, against thedangers of the vaccine. Neither side in
the debate can guarantee 100% protection.
On the one hand, a vaccine might protect you from a disease you
were going to getand maybe die of. en!amin "ran#lin opposed
variolation $smallpo vaccination& andhis unvaccinated son died
of smallpo. 'e subsequently changed his mind andepressed regret for
his former position.
On the other hand, vaccines have been associated with everything
from autism,retardation and immune suppression to death. (n the
).*., the National +accine(n!ury ompensation -rogram $).*.& has
paid out over a billion dollars to parents ofchildren in!ured by
vaccines. +accine manufacturers, while insisting on the safety
of
their product, have steadfastly demanded immunity from
lawsuit.
*o how does one ma#e this decision The answer is, by becoming
#nowledgeableabout all aspects of this debate, including
alternatives to vaccination.
