Week 3 Discussion Forum
Part A
In recent years, it has been observed that diseases that were once mitigated completely due to the invention of various vaccines are spreading again. The author Sarah Dzubay in her research article also highlighted that even in most developed countries, the diseases that were once eradicated have been re-emerged (Dzubay, 2019). The main point of her piece of research is the re-emergence of diseases and the fear of vaccination that people have regarding the specific disease. The main reason for the re-emergence of disease is not only due to the lack of accessibility of vaccinations but the lack of people getting vaccinated regularly. If an individual is getting vaccinated regularly then he or she is not only protecting himself from getting sick but also facilitating in reducing the chances of a disease outbreak that can have severe consequences.
Throughout the research, the author provided evidence to support her point. For instance, to present the idea that people do not get vaccinated regularly, the author utilized the research of another researcher and discussed that “Many people fear that because companies are attempting to make a profit off of the vaccines they are producing, these pharmaceutical corporations are pressuring the CDC and other regulatory agencies to approve their vaccines before they are truly effective or safe (Fadda et al.)”.
The author Sarah also provided the counter argument by highlighting that in many cases, the concerns of people regarding vaccination are true. The author used the help of article to present counter-argument that “One family, featured in a PBS movie depicting the controversy about vaccines, were horrified when their infant son began to have terrible seizures hours after he received his first round of vaccinations (Vaccinations–Calling the Shots)”.
