Diseases of the Drugs: Childhood Vaccines – Part 3
Featured Review
Description
This course is the third part in a series reviewing vaccinations. Each part will focus on a different set of vaccines. This course (Part 3) will review the following vaccines: DTaP=Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Haemophilus influenza B, Pneumococcal conjugate; titers, vaccine manufacturers held harmless, and changes in genetic expression.
Working with vaccine monographs, we’ll discover the meaning behind the letter/number codes of the “active ingredients” as well as the “other ingredients”. The ingredient lists have never been “hidden”; they just have not been disclosed in everyday language. Once you understand where the source of childhood vaccines is obtained and how it’s “fed”, you’ll have a much greater understanding about parental hesitancy around vaccines, opting out of certain vaccines, “ex-vaxxers” and their stance after having been injured by a vaccine. The ethics of the harvesting of the ingredients, practitioner’s beliefs vs parents’ beliefs about vaccination, lack of childhood vaccine clinical trials, what’s happening with a major manufacturer of vaccines and its top scientists, and the routes of administration vs how the diseases are transmitted will be covered.
This course is intended to be a non-biased education concerning ethical decisions around vaccine use. It is not intended to be pro or anti-vaccine; rather, the “rest of the story” about the vaccines to enable the listeners to draw their own conclusion.
Note: Quote “rest of the story” attributed to Paul Harvey, news reporter.
What You’ll Learn
- the moral dilemma some parents face around certain vaccines
- why parents hesitate to vaccinate and would choose religious and/or philosophical exemptions in states that still allow those parental rights
- why “ex-vaxxers” and those called “anti-vaccine” do, more often than not, experience a greater dilemma when considering the excipients (other ingredients) rather than the concept of vaccination
- how excipients can affect and alter the immune system
- the ethical dilemma that the parents have in medical decision making for their children as well as that of the practitioner and when to refer when belief systems collide
