Ban vaccines

I will take quotes stated by my opponent and argue on why they are false, vague, or silly to argue. For this round, I shall italicize my opponents arguments and state why this shouldn't result in the banning of vaccines.Bare assertion, you must elaborate. I perceive no further evidence to back up this claimI ran out of characters last round, and forgot to define my stance on the wording of "Life of humans is far superior than animals". I personally thought it was common sense, but I will gladly define it. In my first argument, I was stating that humans are far superior than an animal like a chicken. A chicken is only to be bred, take its eggs, and possibly cook it when its time is to go. A human on the otherhand is far superior in the event of raising the chickens, making society, and developing into a top tier of individuals. According to journalist the article "Why Humans are More Important than Other Animals" (1), The three main things which prove humans are far superior is having imagination, cognation, and potential. Animals do not have this, and is why I stand for the argument that humans are far superior than animals.I thought I made the relevance of chicken's ability to feel pain clear in section II. Proving animal suffering in relation to vaccines. To reiterate, if a chicken can feel pain, it can suffer. Thus the suffering in animal testing to develop a new vaccine and breeding of chickens is relevant.I apologize didn't realize your organization until you pointed it out. Thats fine, and will argue on why vaccinations on chickens isn't truly bad. First off, I like to point out the intelligence of chickens compared to lets say a dog. A dog can be trainable, while a chicken is actually considered idiotic. According to the article "3 Myths about Chickens" (2), it states: "I’ve decided your average chicken is packing about as much processing power as a VIC-20. You know, 5 kilobytes of RAM and a BASIC interpreter... However, like people, chickens display quite the range of stupidity". Chickens are the least of animals to worry about if tested, and the fact that we eat tons of them yearly proves that they are the best candidate for testing vaccinations. The amount of chickens ate can be seen in this graph (3): "Vaccine testing in particular consumes an estimated 2.5 million animals every year because vaccines are often produced by weakening, inactivating, or detoxifying a virulent microorganism or toxin. Each batch of the finished product is then tested on animals, causing them pain, suffering, and death"This statement did make me question, so I looked up my opponents source (5). It does state that 2.5 million are tested, however the tests done are for a good cause. According to the article, it states: "Safety testing is carried out to try to make sure that a safe immune response is observed and that people who are inoculated with the vaccine are not infected by the pathogen". This proves that this is going to a good cause, and is more lineant on why vaccinations are good in society. As well as the fact that those 2.5 million animals tested with vaccinations are chickens (6), which I proved that they are the least worry some of animals. Apparantly what my opponent is claiming that an animal, classified as stupid, should have far more rights than the protection of a human. When in fact 90 percent of children in 2014 died becaue of lack of vacciation (7).Because the disease might kill a chicken that is already in terrible living conditions existing only for human use. If you look at the humanemyth [10] and peacefulprairie [19] links you might see why disease and death might be preferable to the conditions these chickens are kept in. That's assuming the vaccine works. Which I'm not so sure if vaccines work as seen in my round section VI. Doubts about vaccines effectivenessHowever, like I stated in the previous round, these diseases can be cured with a simple vaccination compared to other costs of spread of diseases. Currently with chickens, there is something called the "Bird Flu", in which its spreading and having to kill these chickens so it doesn't affect humans. And sadly if a human comes into contact with it, "However, influenza viruses mutate constantly, exchanging genetic material within themselves and also with other flu strains in people or animals. Public health specialists are always concerned that dangerous strains in animals will mix with human strains, causing widespread illness". The solution presented by Pekosz "This year’s flu vaccine doesn’t need to be altered to add protection against the H5N2 strain" (8). This shows how vaccinations help protect the people, and the animals themselves.Cigarettes and alcohol also support the economy.In the previous argument I argued that with vaccinations, there will be economic benefits. My opponent argues that there are different means, however alcohol and cigarettes don't make that much compared to vaccinations. According to the chart (9): Also, who wouldn't want to recieve more money for their economy. Anyone would, and vaccinations is one of the ways to promote this as well as give good health to humans who deserve the right to be able to live. And also think about it like this, the more vaccinations used, the more revenue is recieved; the more benefits to these animals. It just requires testing on a few chickens here and there.I Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.Now which is there more money and profit? The absence of smoking and maintaining a healthy weight, or vaccines? The answer is there is more money and profit in vaccines. Here, my opponent agrees that vaccines make more money and profit, and because of this means he leans towards the Con side of this debate.My opponent ran out of characters near the end, but basically argued that animals shouldn't suffer. I addressed earlier that chickens are the least worry of animals to be tested on, and because of this should go to human values over a idiotic animal.Sources:1. http://www.skepticcanary.com...2. http://www.nwedible.com...3. http://www.earth-policy.org...4. http://www.peta.org...5. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...6. http://www.cdc.gov...7. http://news.nationalgeographic.com...8. http://politicalcalculations.blogspot.com...9. https://www.biblegateway.com...
