An old claim\u2013that childhood immunizations cause autism, ADHD, eczema, diabetes, etc.\u2013has a\u00a0new twist\u00a0<\/a>in this Tweet that claims these vaccines are manufactured to harm children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Vaccines do confer immunity.\u00a0We see varying levels of immunity depending on the type of vaccine, but all vaccines confer some amount of immunity.\u00a0Immunity<\/a>, at its base, is\u00a0protection from disease. Vaccines stimulate the immune system in a way that its primed and ready to protect you when you encounter actual pathogens. Not all vaccines prevent 100% of diseases 100% of the time, but that doesn\u2019t at all mean that they aren\u2019t effective in protecting the people who receive them\u00a0and their communities. Even if you are vaccinated and come down with a case of disease, your illness is\u00a0most likely to be less severe than if you hadn\u2019t been vaccinated in the first place.<\/p>\n

Take the\u00a0MMR vaccine<\/a>; it is about 97% effective against measles after 2 doses, meaning 97% of the vaccinated people who are exposed to measles will not develop measles, and that protection is thought to protect for life.\u00a0DTaP<\/a>\u00a0is about 90% effective, and the\u00a0chickenpox vaccine<\/a>\u00a0will protect against disease about 90% of the time, yet almost 100% of the time against severe disease.<\/p>\n

Some vaccines, such as those against influenza and COVID are more limited in their efficacy, and that protection does tend to wane over time, necessitating additional vaccines and boosters, but again, those who have been vaccinated usually have much more mild disease.<\/p>\n

We know that the real purpose of the vaccine is to protect a person and the community around them. They were not made to give anyone lifelong ailments.\u00a0Multiple studies<\/a>\u00a0have looked\u00a0at vaccines and SIDS, and there is no evidence to show that vaccines cause SIDS. And when childhood\u00a0vaccination uptake decreased<\/a>\u00a0during the early years of the pandemic, there was no subsequent decrease in SIDS rates.<\/p>\n

We also have\u00a0plenty of evidence\u00a0that vaccines do not cause\u00a0autism<\/a>,\u00a0ADHD<\/a>,\u00a0eczema<\/a>, or\u00a0diabetes<\/a>. We can conclude that since they don\u2019t cause these lifelong ailments, they were never intended to.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
