Exaggerated “Vaccine Incident” The recent outbreak of vaccine irregularities has caused much concern, with many mothers calling the vaccines “toxic”. In fact, although the vaccines were illegal and should not be given to children, they cannot be called “toxic vaccines”. First of all, the vaccine in question is a regular vaccine, but the vaccine was invalidated due to irregularities in the transportation and storage process, which simply means that it is “the same as if it had not been administered”. Secondly, all the vaccines in violation were Class II vaccines, i.e., vaccines that are voluntarily administered at one’s own expense, and the free and required Class I vaccines were not included in them. Even if the children reflected in “The Death of Vaccines” were disabled or killed by adverse reactions to vaccines, as the reporter said (the report did not provide sufficient medical evidence to confirm that the children’s misfortunes were related to vaccines), they should have been injected with vaccines that meet the regulations and are allowed to be injected, and were only unfortunate enough to experience a small probability of adverse reactions. Exaggerated probability of adverse vaccine reactions Very early on, the Shanghai CDC published a paper in the journal Life and Disaster in 2014, “Vaccination, to do or not to do”, on the probability of adverse vaccine reactions. Vaccines are administered in very small doses to the human body, and the adverse reactions are divided into three main categories: The first category is localized redness, swelling, pain, and fever. The incidence of these reactions is high, generally a few percent, but they are mild and require no treatment or symptomatic treatment; the second category is allergic reactions related to immune mechanisms. The incidence is a few parts per million to a few parts per 100,000, and most of them are mild allergic rashes, some are more serious such as allergic purpura, but they can usually be cured; the third category is infections caused by live bacteria or viruses in live attenuated vaccines. The main focus is on the BCG and polio vaccine two, BCG vaccine caused lymphadenitis incidence in a few parts per million, the probability of causing systemic infection is one in a million. The probability of polio caused by the attenuated polio vaccine is about 1 in 250,000. In simple terms, after vaccination, a few out of a hundred children will have mild adverse reactions such as low-grade fever and redness; a few out of tens of thousands will have serious adverse reactions such as allergic purpura, and most can be cured; and a few out of hundreds of thousands will have systemic viral infections due to the attenuated vaccine. Although the probability of adverse reactions is very low, many mothers are still worried about the consequences of not receiving vaccinations. It is a 100 percent disaster for each affected family. Therefore, many people choose not to get vaccinated. But not getting vaccinated to avoid the risk puts your child at more risk of contracting the virus. In contrast, I’m sure every mom won’t hesitate anymore! If you don’t vaccinate, your child will have a much scarier time contracting these viruses: Polio (polio) Polio is a highly contagious disease that can cause full-blown paralysis in a matter of hours. Before the polio vaccine was available, almost all children were infected with the polio virus, and irreversible paralysis would occur in one out of every 200 cases of infection. Of the paralyzed cases, 5-10% died from respiratory muscle paralysis. Because of the polio vaccine, polio cases have decreased by more than 99% since 1988. Tetanus (the “tetanus” in tetanus triple vaccine) Tetanus is usually a fatal infectious disease with a mortality rate of 10% to 70%; even in hospitals with optimal medical care, the mortality rate is 10% to 20%. In the 1980s, there were about 800,000 deaths from tetanus worldwide; in 2002, the number dropped to 180,000, and in 2008, it dropped to 50,000. Measles Measles is a highly contagious and serious disease. In the absence of a vaccine, more than 90 percent of people are infected with the measles virus by age 10, most of whom can develop symptoms. in 1980, before widespread vaccination, measles was estimated to cause 2.6 million deaths worldwide each year. Pertussis (the “pert” in DPT3) Pertussis is a major cause of infant and child mortality worldwide, with approximately 16 million cases of pertussis worldwide in 2008 (95% of which occurred in developing countries), resulting in the deaths of approximately 195,000 children. Following the implementation of mass vaccination in the 1950s and 1960s, pertussis morbidity and mortality rates in developed countries declined by more than 90%. Diphtheria (the “white” in DPT3) has historically been one of the most feared childhood diseases, with death rates as high as 50% in some places during the diphtheria pandemics of the 1880s in Europe and the United States. It is estimated that prior to the intensive use of diphtheria toxoid in the 1980s, there were approximately 1 million cases and 50,000 to 60,000 deaths per year in developing countries. Between 1980 and 2000, the total number of reported cases of diphtheria decreased by more than 90% worldwide. B encephalitis B is a mosquito-borne disease with a high morbidity and mortality rate (5% to 50%), and about 1/3 of survivors are left with lifelong neuropsychiatric disorders after healing. China began large-scale use of the BSE vaccine in the 1970s, and the incidence rate has dropped from 20.92/100,000 before to less than 1/100,000 today. Epidemic meningitis is a worldwide epidemic and is of concern because of its high incidence and mortality rate. Worldwide, 300,000 to 350,000 cases of influenza occur each year, with an overall mortality rate of 5% to 10%. China is a high incidence area of rheumatic encephalitis, there have been five pandemics, the highest incidence rate of 403/100,000, the death rate of 5.5%. After the 1980s, China began to promote vaccination, and the incidence of influenza began to decline year by year, and by the 1990s, the incidence rate was maintained at <1/100,000.
