Lethal Injection: An Argument against the Influenza Vaccine Judith Jensen Western Governors University November 15, 2013 Lethal Injection: An Argument against the Influenza Vaccine Introduction Every fall season we hear the question; did you get your flu shot yet? It is supposed to protect you from that nasty flu virus that circulates our communities during the fall and winter months. But, did you know that in 2011 the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Adverse Event Reporting Systems Website (AERS) reported 51 deaths caused by the flu vaccine in the United States (U.S.) (CDC,2012). According to National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), as of July 2012 there have been more than 84,000 reports of adverse reactions, 1000 vaccine related deaths and over 1600 cases of Guillain- Barre syndrome, a acute form of paralysis, triggered by the vaccine (NVIC.ORG). Audience Hook A problem exists in the fact that according to the ( NVIC) fewer than 1% of all adverse vaccine reactions are ever reported, this fact is substantiated by the problem of “underreporting” vaccine injuries according to the joint operated site by the CDC and Food and Drug Administration ( FDA) (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System [VAERS], 2011).
One of the most salient usability issues for the mobile web is the limited screen size. Researchers are trying to develop methods to make existing versions more mobile web-friendly (Roberts, D., 2008). Another challenge is that you can’t scan the full information given when opening a web page on your mobile devices because of the small screen size. The main idea should be to make the apps and sites fit to the small screen size. Potential problems can range from the various input methods for inputting data into phone; like different keypads and methods of scrolling, varying phone capabilities, varying user behavior, varying screen sizes, vary user expectations, leveraging built-in hardware, and features on a mobile phone (Cartman & Ting,
Another treatment of the flu is a vaccination. This is highly recommended by clinics all over the world. Getting a flu shot will help the body develop antibodies in two weeks after the vaccination. The antibodies provide protection against the infection with the virus in the vaccine. The seasonal flu shot protects against influenza that research show will be most rampant during the upcoming season and the traditional flu shot is made to protect against three flu viruses, H1N1, H3N2, and an influenza B virus (Seasonal Influenza).
In fact, the government supports vaccines so strongly that any uninsured child can walk into a clinic and get his or her shots for free (Heyworth, 2011). Mary Glode, M.D., a pediatric professor at the University of Colorado says, “immunizations are simply one of the greatest public health achievements”. The national immunization rate has remained stable with 76 percent of children aged 19 to 35 months up-to-date on all shots, but is still short of the government’s goal of 80 percent (Heyworth, 2011). With parents delaying shots or skipping certain ones altogether, serious diseases that had been wiped out in the U.S have now become part of a recent outbreak. In most parents the fear of vaccines is the belief that the increased number of vaccinations required is the cause of autism.
