Vaccination is beneficial for humanity

I would like to start by addressing some of the opponent's points.There are two types of Pertusis vaccine, one of them contains the entire bacterium, and one of them contains a part of the bacterium. Both of them are attenuated vaccines and presents artifical passive immunity; therefore, if the bacterium has been spotted by the White Blood Cells, there are no chances of the bacterium ever being able to reproduce in the body. Therefore, that point by the opponent does not seems to be true. Also, if vaccines do not provide total protection, they give the bodies a high or medium levels of antigens, which could be boosted by a booster vaccine if ever needed. Although some vaccines do not provide total immunization, many vaccines do immunize it's patients forever. An example of this is the Inactivated Polio Vaccine, which contains a high level of antigen, and therefore is unable to provide any harm, and gives total immunization to the most common types of polio strand, Polio 1,2 and 3. This vaccines saved the lives of millions and continue to do so in the western hemisphere: to be fair, in fact, it has eradicated polio in the countries that embraced this vaccine. The last case of polio in the United States, the first country to enact this vaccine was in 1984, 30 years ago. This proves the efficiency of this vaccine, but if the opponent is not satisfied, then he should know that in places where polio is still a widespread phenomenom, the OPV is the used type, not the IPV. Although some immunity do weaken over time, like breastmilk and some vaccines, many vaccines, like the IPV, do not weaken at all.To the opponent's points about the cost of vaccines, I can only agree, but the prices of vaccines are going up with the cost of living, and therefore should not be any surprise to anyone. Yes, one cannot say that MMR Vaccines are cost effective, but what I can say that there are many ways to make any vaccines cost effective. Although the research part might cost alot, as the world develops, we can only say that MMR Vaccines are going to cost less, as it is right now a mixture of attenuated viruses and antigens, which would definitely cost more.I would like to end my rebutalls with the fact that our debate is on whether vaccination is beneficial for humanity, not vaccination is humanity's only saviour.Section References:http://www.patient.co.uk...http://www.unicef.org...http://www.cdc.gov...Now on to main arguments: Vaccination have been proven to save lives This is a graph showing the number of polio infected (per 100,000 patients). Firstly, we have to analyse the graph in 1952, when there was a major polio epidemic in the United States. That could be the high point, where we could see 40 people infected patients per 100,000 people. That is alot of patients infected with this virus; we can also state at that year, 28,000 people in the US alone died from this virus. The Salk Vaccine was the so called Inactivated Polio Vaccine, and the Sabin Vaccine was called the Oral Polio Vaccine. Although there were many other extensions of both vaccines, they both saved lives. Poliovirus, the main pathogen responsible for the many infections that evolved into a disease called polio, is usually found in any places where the saliva and sweat of the patient who has the poliovirus was: usually, but not limited to, swimming pool and playgrounds. Therefore, it is easily spread, especially through young children. If a member of a household gets the virus, then it is almost certain for everyone else in the household to get the virus. With the invention of the polio vaccine, this can be seen as a remarkable achievement: within 12 years, polio cases reduce by almost 200%. That is clearly an indication of life-saving. Although the project was not "cost effective", it saved millions of lives, and as I stated before, has eradicated polio in the western hemisphere. Is that not beneficial? Is eradicating a very harmful disease not beneficial? For the human race, it is. For the greater good of humanity, it is.I can only say so much: there are many other examples, like MMR and Smallpox, and they all have the same results: the almost complete eradication of the number of infections of the disease.We the human race will benefit from vaccines. It is for these reasons, and many more that I am about to present, is why vaccination will benefit the human race.Thank You and Have a Nice DayCitations:http://en.wikipedia.org...http://en.wikipedia.org...http://www.polioeradication.org...;
