Smallpox Vaccines: A Study

Vaccines have long been used to to fight disease and protect people. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines a vaccine as a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. They can be administered through injections, but can also be administered through the mouth or sprayed into the nose.The first vaccine was invented in the year 1000 and was used to treat smallpox, a chinese man crushed up smallpox scabs and snorted it through his nostrils. Vaccines have been used to treat many diseases such as measles,polio, and the flu which have saved many lives.

The study found that, “Some hepatitis and chickenpox vaccines are cultivated in cells from two fetuses aborted in the 1960s and The Catholic Church, in a June 9, 2005 report, indicated that "there is a grave responsibility to use alternative vaccines" Some vaccines are also made using animal products like chicken eggs, insect cells, Cocker Spaniel cells, and pig gelatin, which are prohibited by other religious doctrines. Others consider it problematic that some vaccines are produced using human albumin, a blood plasma
Peter Bradley, in his article in the Journal of Medical Ethics, argues “that when the rights of parents and children collide in this way, it is far from clear how to decide whose rights should be overridden. This brings us to the third argument for compulsory vaccination; that—to put it bluntly— the views of anti-vaccination parents should be disregarded, because they have been swayed by misleading information in the media. For example, huge studies of entire national cohorts of children have shown conclusively that, contra an always-speculative and now-retracted 1998 paper, there is absolutely no link between the MMR vaccine and autism. Yet many still suspect a cover up, or refuse more generally to believe that vaccines are
