Many parents are afraid to vaccinate children. Some are frightened by numerous TV reports about fatal medical mistakes, others simply explain their reluctance by not wanting their child to be "hammered". A separate mention deserves the gaining popularity in recent times that with the help of vaccines, the world's strongest people are trying to control the birth rate - they say, there is a kind of sterilization of the population, according to the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net The reason for such conversations was a scandal that broke out back in the 90s, when several public organizations allegedly found a hormone in the World Health Organization vaccine provoking miscarriages.

Since then, for a period of almost 20 years, the fact that a vaccine can cause infertility has not been confirmed. However, which is much more interesting - it was also not refuted. As a result, now this situation has turned into a real legend, even into a kind of horror story, which, surprisingly, many people continue to believe in, and in every possible way save their children from any vaccinations.

Any parent should be aware that every intervention in the human body, and especially the child, can not remain without consequences. However, if everything is weighed - then the advantages in this case are much more significant than the minuses. After all, vaccines have conquered many dangerous diseases, from which people in the last century died massively. It is through vaccination that today's generation no longer knows the meaning of words such as smallpox, cholera, diphtheria and poliomyelitis. In the Middle Ages, they claimed the lives of a huge number of people - more than the most destructive wars, and now in the civilized world have become only the property of medical history.

However, in such a situation, a completely logical question arises: if such dangerous diseases are defeated, then why get vaccinated now? Here it should be noted that in order to combat dangerous infectious diseases, it is necessary not just the immunity of a single person - so-called "public immunity" is needed - in other words, that all people, or at least the majority, have antibodies to deadly diseases. Such immunity is formed as a result of vaccinations and is transmitted by inheritance to several subsequent generations.

However, according to estimates of scientists, the public immunity is slowly but surely weakening - and the evidence is a few deadly outbreaks of pertussis and measles, which in recent years have swept through the small cities of the United States, where people for various reasons decided to abandon vaccination. Thus, any illness from among the most deadly can unexpectedly return - and there is only one protection here - vaccination. In fact, all the rumors about possible complications and the fact that vaccinations provoke the disease are no more than superstitions - none of the many thousands of studies on this topic have confirmed any such fears.
