摘要
背景:疫苗是预防疾病和延长寿命的非常有效的医疗工具。争议引起了人们对他们的安全性的担忧,从自闭症到使用猿猴病毒40(SV-40)的脊髓灰质炎疫苗污染。围绕疫苗相关风险的歇斯底里导致发达国家的疫苗接种数量下降。在欧洲和北美洲爆发了疫苗可预防的疾病(例如麻疹),也造成了一些伤害。 目标:在本综述中,讨论了疫苗安全性和有效性的数据,表明疫苗的益处远大于风险,遵守疫苗接种方案很重要,以避免严重的可预防疾病的传播。 方法:那些反对接种疫苗的人表示支持疫苗的科学文献受到制药公司的影响。在这篇综述中,独立科学家研究流感的研究和那些从行业中获得某种好处的人所撰写的研究将单独讨论。所有选择的论文都是通过MEDLINE研究选出的。 结果:疫苗接种率正在下降,尽管它们是有效的公共卫生工具。例如,据世界卫生组织称,流感每年造成250,000-500,000人死亡。然而,由于疫苗恐慌并且因为并非所有患者在接种疫苗后都产生免疫力,因此将流感疫苗扩展到所有老年受试者的运动几乎没有成功。 结论:该评价证明疫苗歇斯底里是有害的,因为:1)它导致可预防疾病的发病率和死亡率增加; 2)它危及新疫苗的研究; 3)患者不愿意接受任何形式的免疫治疗,通常称为“接种疫苗”。

摘要: Background: Vaccines are very effective medical tools for disease prevention and life span increase. Controversies have raised concern about their safety, from autism to polio vaccine contamination with simian virus 40 (SV-40). Hysteria surrounding vaccine-associated risks has resulted in a declining number of vaccinations in developed countries. Outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases (e.g. measles) have occurred in Europe and North America, causing also some causalities.
Objectives: In this review, data on safety and efficacy of vaccines are discussed, showing that the benefits of vaccines far outweigh the risks and that it is important to comply with vaccination protocols, to avoid spreading of severe, preventable diseases.
Methods: Those opposed to vaccinations suggest that scientific literature supporting vaccines is influenced by pharmaceutical companies. In this review, studies on influenza produced by independent scientists and those authored by those who received some kind of benefit from the industry are discussed separately. All the chosen papers were selected through a MEDLINE research.
Results: Vaccination rates are decreasing, even though they are effective public health tools. Influenza, for example, is responsible for 250,000–500,000 deaths each year, according to the WHO. Yet, campaigns to extend influenza vaccine to all elderly subjects report little success, because of the vaccine scare and because not all patients develop immunity following vaccination.
Conclusions: This review proves that vaccine hysteria is detrimental because: 1) it causes an increased morbidity and mortality from preventable diseases; 2) it jeopardizes research for new vaccines; 3) patients are reluctant to accept any form of immune-therapy, commonly referred to as “vaccination”.
