Arguments For & Against Vaccinations:

This is what people in favor of vaccinations say:

• Vaccinations are the best protection against dangerous diseases for the person who has been vaccinated
• Vaccinations protect people who associate with the person who has been vaccinated against contagion
• Vaccinations can prevent epidemics or limit them
• Maximum protection and minimal risk
• Side-effects are rare
• Vaccinations prevent large numbers of deaths – in other words increase life expectancy
• Vaccinations can completely eradicate diseases
• Vaccinations are among of safest medications
• Children have a right to be vaccinated

This is what people who are critical of vaccinations say:

• Vaccinations are undoubtedly capable of causing severe side effects (see the individual vaccinations)
• Long-term effects of vaccinations have never been and are still not investigated
• Vaccination trials are virtually only performed by companies that manufacture the vaccines
• Vaccination trials only compare vaccines with other vaccines and do not compare vaccines to placebos
• There are virtually no independent trials (and if there are, their results all vary)
• Vaccination trials that do not come to a good conclusion financed by pharmaceutical companies are not made public
• Trials that get vaccinations approved remain the secret of the manufacturers
• Proof that vaccinations are effective largely depends on statistics and the rise of antibodies
• The formation of antibodies is equated with vaccination protection
• Children’s diseases are unpleasant but are not dangerous for healthy children
• Children who have been vaccinated are not healthier than children who have not been vaccinated
• Vaccinations are a business that is based on the fear of sickness
• The result of suppressing acute diseases (vaccinated children diseases) is a rise in chronic disease
• Having children’s diseases during childhood protects against serious diseases during adulthood
