Your bodys immune So Why get one? Vaccines wont kill you, but meningitis sure will. Whats in a vaccine anyway? Dead or weakened disease, preservatives, aluminum and sometimes egg proteins or antibiotics. Why is all that stuff necessary? The aluminum helps get a stronger immune response (this is the purpose of a vaccine, so this is good,) egg proteins are used in the production of some vaccines, antibiotics and preservatives system falls into two categories: innate and adaptive. Your innate immune system attacks anything foreign, from the flu to pollen, if youre allergic. Your adaptive immune system is composed of cells that will attack one and only one kind of germ. The innate system is good at making you feel pretty sick, but it cant fight off big infections on its own and needs the help of the adaptive system. Normally, when you get sick, the innate system activates the adaptive, causing the cells that are specific to that sickness to divide, resulting in a veritable cells army of sickness-specifi- c that destroy the germs. Most of these specific cells die after the infection is gone, but a few stick around for years, sometimes the rest of your life, in case the germ comes back. What does this have to do with vaccines? Vaccines bypass the getting sick part of immunity. By injecting you with a few dead germs, your innate system will activate the adaptive, resulting in a small immune response that can manifest as a mild fever or feeling kind of crummy for a couple days after your shot. This means you have a strong immune system (good!) Your body will then produce g cells that are the dead to the specific germ, protecting you in case you ever encounter the live germ. long-livin- We updated our headlines font for g your pleasure. easy-viewin- Eh...Hl take my chances. Fine. Just know that youll be exposing people who cant get a vaccination to a host of deadly germs they arent able to handle. This includes cancer patients who had a bone marrow transplant You want to be the person responsible for giving a cancer patient the flu? Whats your bias? I am deathly afraid of shots, but I get my flu shot every year. -- THE FORUM - - s |
