<font color="#FEFEFE">Vaccines are celebrated for their part in fighting disease. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">But, a growing group of people</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">seem to believe that they endanger our health, instead of protecting it. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">The Internet is full of stories about allergic reactions,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">the onset of disabilities,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">and even death following vaccination appointments.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">And, it's true vaccines can have side effects. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Let's look at how they work, and how dangerous they really are. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Your immune system is a complex army of billions of cells.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Soldiers,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">intelligence cells,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">and weapons factories. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Every day, you're attacked countless times,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">but your immune soldiers alone usually deal with that,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">so you don't even notice. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">If an infection becomes serious though,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">our intelligence cells gather intel about the attackers</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">and activate our weapons factories.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">You know the weapon: antibodies. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">They're like targeted missiles produced specifically to combat the invader. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Unfortunately, this process takes several days to complete.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">That gives intruders a lot of time to do damage. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Contrary to popular wisdom,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">what doesn't kill you doesn't make you stronger. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Our bodies really don't want to fight serious wars over and over,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">so our immune system came up with an ingenious way</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">to get stronger and stronger over time.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">If we fight an enemy that is dangerous enough to trigger our heavy weapons,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">our immune system automatically creates memory cells. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Memory cells remain in our body for years, in a deep sleep. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">They do nothing but remember.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">When an enemy attacks for a second time,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">the slumbering memory cells awaken,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">and order coordinated attacks and the production of antibodies. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">This is so fast and effective,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">that many infections you beat once will never make you sick again. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">You might even be immune against them forever.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Which is also why little kids are constantly ill;</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">they don't have enough memory cells yet. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">And this beautiful natural mechanism is what we build on when we use vaccines. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">How Vaccines Work</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">As great as memory cells are,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">obtaining them through an infection is unpleasant and sometimes dangerous.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Vaccines are a way of tricking our bodies into making memory cells,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">and becoming immune to a disease. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">They pretend to be a dangerous infection. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">One way of doing this is to inject invaders that can't do harm.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">For example, by killing them, or by ripping them into pieces. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Our immune systems deal with these kinds of vaccines pretty easily. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Sometimes, it's necessary to make our immune system work harder though,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">to produce even more memory cells.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Live vaccines are the real deal. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">An enemy that can punch back is a bigger challenge than a dead one. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">But this also sounds like a sort-of horrible idea.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">What if the germs win? </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">To avoid that, we breed a sort-of weak cousin of the real germ in the lab. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Just powerful enough to annoy the immune system, and create enough memory cells.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Okay, so these are the basic principles of vaccine use. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">They provoke a natural reaction in our bodies</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">that makes us become immune against very dangerous diseases. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Some, like the flu virus, mutate so often</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">that we need a new vaccine every year,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">but most vaccines protect us for years, or even a lifetime.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">But, there's a catch. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Like everything in life, vaccines have another side:</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Side effects. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">What are they, and what happens if your child develops one?
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">The Risks of Vaccines</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">It's complicated to directly compare the side effects of vaccines with the effects of diseases. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">For example,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">hundreds of millions of people are vaccinated against measles in the West,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">but there were only 83,000 cases in Europe in 2018. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">So, with numbers that different, even mild side effects can seem scary</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">compared to the bad effects of a disease that we don't see as much anymore.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Before the measles vaccine became available in 1963,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">virtually every single child on Earth contracted measles at some point. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">An estimated 135 million cases in the 1950s. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Every single year.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">But are measles really that dangerous in the year 2019? </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">With our advanced healthcare and new technologies,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">are they worth the risk of vaccine side effects? </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Let's do a thought experiment based on real numbers.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Imagine a developed country in a parallel world. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">It has good healthcare but people stop vaccinating. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">In this scenario, let's say ten million children caught measles.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">What happens? </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Nine million eight hundred thousand, or 98%, will get a high fever and a very unpleasant rash. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Up to 800,000 of them, or 8%, will suffer from dangerous diarrhea.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">700,000, or 7%, will suffer from an ear infection, which can lead to permanent hearing loss. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">600,000 kids, or 6%, will suffer from pneumonia -- the most dangerous effect of measles. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">It, alone, will kill 12,000 children.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Up to 10,000 children, or 0. 1%, will get encephalitis. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">2,500 kids, or 0.
025%, will contract SSPE,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">a disease where the measles virus lingers in their brain</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">and kills them a few years later. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Taken together,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">around 2. 5 million children will suffer from somewhat serious effects from measles.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">And, about 20,000 children will be killed by measles. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">It doesn't stop here though. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">The kids who beat measles are left with a severely damaged immune system</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">that needs a lot of time to regenerate.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Time for other diseases to do further damage. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Aside from that, what's almost guaranteed</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">is that your kids will have a really bad time for about two weeks. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Okay, but what about vaccines?
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">It's only fair to look at these risks, too. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">So, let's repeat our thought experiment. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">But, this time, we vaccinate ten million children with MMR.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">What would theoretically happen here? </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">After being vaccinated,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">of our 10 million kids, around ten percent get a fever. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">500,000, or 5%, will get a mild rash.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Up to 100, or 0. 001%,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">might have a serious allergic reaction and will have to be treated. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Up to ten boys, or 0.
0001%,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">might get inflammation of the genitalia. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">And up to ten kids in total, or 0. 0001%,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">might get the most serious side effect: encephalitis.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">So, we vaccinated ten million kids. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">In total, around one hundred and twenty had side effects that were somewhat serious. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Thanks to good medical treatment in developed regions, almost all of them will be fine.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">What about autism? </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">The connection of autism and vaccines stems from one source</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">that has been disproven countless times. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">We'll link to further reading and videos in the description.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">But, in 2019, it's fair to say that vaccines do not cause autism. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">All right, but what about deaths? </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">It's really hard to say if even a single one of our 10 million vaccinated kids would die.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">We really did look hard and talked to a lot of different experts. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">If we ignore self-reporting,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">we could only come up with a tiny handful of documented cases</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">for all the hundreds of millions of children who received the MMR vaccine since 1971. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Measles are many, many thousands of times more dangerous for your child</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">than even the absolute worst case of vaccine side effects.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">You have to search for lethal vaccine side effects with a huge magnifying glass</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">and, even then, it's very hard to find confirmed cases. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">While, deaths from measles are real and easy to find. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">In 2017 alone, 110,000 people died from measles worldwide.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Statistically, today, 300 children will die of measles. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">One since this video started. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">You can compare vaccines to seatbelts.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Are there weird freak accidents where someone gets killed by their seatbelt? </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Well, yes. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">But, do you personally think it's safer to not put a seatbelt on your kid?
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Wait a second! </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">What if your kid is actually allergic? </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">What if none of the things we've said applies to your specific situation?
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">In this case, you need to become the greatest vaccination promoter of all. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Because if your children can't be vaccinated, only the collective can protect them. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">This is called herd immunity,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">and it's the only thing that can protect your unvaccinated child.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Herd immunity means that enough people are immune to a disease,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">that it can't spread, and dies before it reaches its victims. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">But to accomplish this for measles alone,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">95% of the people around you need to be vaccinated. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Conclusion</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">The problem with the debate about vaccines is that it's not fought on a level playing field.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">While the pro-vaccine side argues with studies and statistics,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">the arguments against them are usually a wild mixture of gut feeling,</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">anecdotes, and misinformation. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">And feelings are often immune to facts. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">We'll not convince anybody by screaming at them.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">But we can't hide from the reality of what anti-vaccine conspiracies do. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">They kill babies too young to be vaccinated. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">They kill healthy children that are just unlucky.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">They bring serious diseases back from the verge of extinction. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">And, the biggest side effect of vaccines is fewer dead children. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Vaccines are one of the most powerful tools we have</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">to eradicate the monsters that most of us have already forgotten.
</font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Let's not bring the beasts back! </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Vaccines are celebrated for their part in fighting disease. </font> <font color="#FEFEFE">Vaccines are celebrated for their part in fighting disease.
