Viruses are not technically alive and require a living cell to multiply. Dead viruses can be used to find cures for live viruses and confer immunity to certain diseases through vaccination. There is no evidence to suggest vaccines cause autism. Polio remains endemic in three countries, weak public health systems are at risk, and the CDC recommends regular booster shots. Smallpox was eradicated through worldwide vaccine initiatives.
While viruses are often referred to as living organisms, they are not technically alive. They are unable to do anything until they enter a living cell, where they multiply according to the nature of the specific virus. However, scientists can use dead viruses to find cures for live viruses. The more accurate terms for these viruses would be “inactive” versus “active”. Most people living in developed countries have experienced the benefits of these inactive viruses, which can confer immunity to certain diseases. Anyone who has ever been vaccinated against polio or measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) has had a dead or weakened virus introduced into their body to prevent disease. While there has been some controversy surrounding vaccinations recently, there is no evidence to suggest that vaccines cause autism in children. The Centers for Disease Control, together with Abt Associates Inc., conducted a study of 1,000 children from 1994 to 1999 and concluded that the number of vaccine antigens in children with an autism spectrum disorder was the same as the number in children without any form of autism.
More Vaccine Facts:
As of 2015, polio remained endemic in three countries: Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. Countries with weak public health systems are most at risk. Three doses of the oral vaccine produce immunity in over 95% of recipients.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that all adults get a tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (TDAP) booster every 10 years and a flu shot every year.
The World Health Organization declared smallpox eradication in 1980 due to worldwide vaccine initiatives.
