Apart from the book, What are your thoughts on vaccines?

[Chideraa Ezeanwu]

I personally think that vaccines are very important and is a preemptive way if fighting diseases before they turn into a problem like a full-blown pandemic.

[Mercy Bolo]

I think vaccines are a modern medical miracle, have saved the lives of countless people, and has helped to eradicate many diseases. However, the research and implementation of new vaccines shouldn't be rushed as the covid vaccine was. Big pharma, not wanting to miss out on the windfall, pushed a premature product onto the masses.

[João Ramos]

I think a clear difference needs to be drawn between vaccines developed over decades that can be critically evaluated for their long-term results and those developed hastily. Even though Colleen Huber has a negative view of them all, I tend to trust the first ones more.

[Hykaryh]

Personally, vaccines really do have a place in prevention. We are not living in the Middle Ages, we can do so that our children live into adulthood.
Like all drugs, it can have side effects, but without it, infant mortality would still be a big problem in developed countries nowadays. Overall, I vote for the vaccine.

Vaccines are rigorously tested for safety and effectiveness before being approved. While some people may have mild side effects, serious reactions are rare. The benefits of vaccination in preventing illness and protecting communities are greater than the risks.

Individuals must make informed decisions about vaccination based on reliable scientific evidence and advice from healthcare providers. Vaccination not only protects individuals but also helps create herd immunity, which reduces the spread of diseases in communities.

Regarding Covishield, very rare side effects may occur, but these are extremely uncommon. Some reports suggest a potential link between Covishield and rare blood clotting disorders, like thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). However, the overall risk of these side effects is considered very low, and the benefits of vaccination against COVID-19 outweigh the risks for most people.

It's important to note that the safety of vaccines, including Covishield, is closely monitored by regulatory agencies and public health authorities. Any reports of adverse events are thoroughly investigated to determine their potential link to the vaccine.

[Stephanie Runyon]

Vaccines aren't always considered negatively. The issue I had with the COVID vaccine is it was not thoroughly tested and it did not prevent the infection. The three companies rushed to profit from the misfortune of the public. Looking at the numbers makes me wonder if this was a form of population control. Instilling fear in the masses allows for controlling the people (see Hitler's Third Reich for reference).

[Badger Martin]

If there was anything I was blind to before this book it would be the side effects of vaccines. I had never given that so much thought.

[Kutloano Makhuvhela]

Vaccines play a crucial role in fighting the spread of diseases and viruses, and I think today we downplay that because we don't see people dying as they used to before. But when the big pharma are in cahoots with the government and cutting corners in order to maximises their profits, that's when it gets dangerous and end up causing harm.

[Joshua Sawders]

Vaccines are indispensable tools in safeguarding public health by preventing infectious diseases. They not only protect individuals from illness but also confer community immunity, shielding vulnerable populations who cannot receive vaccines themselves. Through widespread vaccination, humanity has eradicated diseases like smallpox and significantly reduced the burden of others, such as polio and measles. I think Vaccines represent a triumph of science, saving millions of lives and serving great purposes, animals included

[Ruka NK]

I like vaccines. Not just because we have 2 doctors in my family but because they have done a lot for humanity. I think pharmaceutical companies not being transparent and being more about profit that has ruined the peoples trust in vaccines. It’s made me a bit of a skeptic now.

[Sameeha Ismail]

Before I took my vaccine, I kept hearing a lot of side effects because of the injection. So, I wouldn't have been surprised if I'd had a heart attack after I took the injection. It is dramatic, but I was imagining such a scenario at the time. Lol.

[INZAMAMUL HAQUE3]

Covishield, an Indian vaccine, has been found to have various side effects, ranging from mild to severe. Do you think that all vaccines are equal and adhere to the claim that they are "neither safe nor effective"? Personally, I believe that vaccines are incredible innovations. Rather than relying solely on your body's natural immune response, vaccines assist in building immunity to different diseases. Through vaccination, the likelihood of contracting a specific disease is significantly reduced, thus helping to prevent widespread outbreaks.

[Shiru Elizabeth]

More severe adverse effects are relatively infrequent, but they can happen in very rare situations. According to certain studies, there may be a connection between Covishield and uncommon blood clotting conditions such thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). For most individuals, however, the advantages of vaccination in preventing COVID-19 outweigh the dangers, and the total risk of these uncommon adverse effects is thought to be extremely low.

[Carlos Mata Saenz]

I talk as a healthcare professional but as well as a person with my own perspectives and thoughts. I think vaccines are one of the most important outcomes of medicine in the history. A lot of diseases have almost disappeared thanks to vaccines, and if they haven’t gone completely is because there are people who don’t get vaccinated. Even those vaccines that don’t exclude the risk of infection (as flu or covid) show benefits of you get infected.

[Amanda Meira]

I think of vaccination as a social deal. It is a way we protect those who cannot be vaccinated due to health problems and are, generally, at a higher risk. These people may be just strangers to me, but they are someone's family, and I fully respect that. Mass vaccination has proven to be one of the most effective ways to protect the population, see by polio; it has been considered eradicated since the '90s. When any cases occur, they are isolated and usually come from abroad. I work in the research area, and I know very well what the research stages are like. Here, the health policies are strict, making them even more reliable. Vaccines save lives!
