In a controversial discussion of vaccinations, a prominent issue is safety and the risks that they pose. While some argue that vaccinations are safe and effective, others contend that they are harmful and unreliable. I, however, am fully confident in modern medicine and the positive effects that vaccines have to offer. On one hand, I do agree with the fact that there can be dangerous side effects when it comes to getting vaccinated. In contrast, the small risk of side effects greatly outweighs getting these potentially life threatening diseases such as polio, HPV, and hepatitis.
The Gardasil Vaccine Human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer are two of the most problematic health issues that young women have to deal with today. There are many different risks of getting these two diseases, which can be easily deducted by the use of a simple set of three shots of the Gardasil vaccine. Noel Merino, the author of the article “A Mandatory HPV Vaccine Will Create a Backlash”, believes that these shots should not be mandatory. He strongly states the reasons as to why there is not a big rush to get the vaccination for multiple reasons. While Merino clearly identifies that HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer, he ignores the fact that the decision to give girls as young as ten the Gardasil shot vaccine, is not

MDMA should be reviewed and rescheduled due to the fact that the initial scheduling reports were flawed, there are vast medical uses for MDMA in treating patients who have shown no improvements with other psychological treatments, and there is a very low possibility of death amongst users of unadulterated MDMA. Why must we withhold a drug that can be so very useful for the treatment of extreme mental conditions and possibly cure thousands of Americans of their
Critique of Cervical cancer prevention by vaccination: nurses’ knowledge, attitudes and intentions - Psychology Research Paper by Sidney Otoboeze Northern Lights College for PSY 101, Introduction to Psychology Tanya Clary May 18, 2011 Abstract One of the first tasks involved in the critiquing of a research paper is to try to explain the performance and tasks that have taken place. Critiquing research involves a careful examination of all aspects of a study in order to judge its strengths, limitations, meaning and significance (Hek, 1996). As demonstrated in the paper written by Boulianne, Duval, Dube, Ouakki, Gilca,Halperin, Sauvageau, Pielak, Lavoie & Simpson, (2009), it can be concluded that cervical cancer is the second most
Influenza: To Vaccinate? Even though others believe it to be unsafe, I believe that everyone should receive the flu vaccination. Our health and the health of others depend on it; influenza is a much more serious disease than you might think, and it can even be deadly! The vaccine is safe and effective in reducing "Flu like" symptoms. I believe it is each and everyone’s responsibility to protect not only ourselves but our families, friends, neighbors, and others in the community as well from influenza.
• How is the main argument supported in the article? The writer is exposing her own experience having a mentally retarded brother; she develops a story on how her family suffered because of him. The writer also expresses that people should have the power to choose between abortions or not once a fetus is diagnosed with a disability.
For example, Anas is a 53-year old woman who is currently working with prisoners who have gone through abortion trauma. Through this she reflects on the pain that her own abortion brought her at 19years old, “But after the procedure, she says, strange feelings washed over her. I remember having evil thoughts, about hurting children, she said. It was like I'd done the worst thing I could possibly do. A piece of evil had entered me.” (Bazelon, 2007) We cannot assume all patients have the same post trauma, this woman may have had a psychological disorder, or received extreme amounts of pressure or stress before encountering her abortion.
Disease prevention is the key to public health. It is always better to prevent than treat a disease. Vaccines can protect both the people who receive them and those with whom they come in contact. Vaccination is the greatest gift that a parent can give a child and the best possible protection against atleast 17 major threatening diseases. It is one of the most cost-effective public health interventions to reduce child mortality and morbidity.
