5. No-One Needs a Vaccine – it’s a Medical Racket
Many people who aren’t conspiracy theorists believe that vaccines are not effective in preventing infection. These individuals recount stories of people who received a vaccine and got sick a few years later. However, they fail to take into account that some diseases, such as tetanus, require a booster shot every 10-years to ensure the body remains protected against infection.
The reality is that there are high-risk groups that can benefit significantly from receiving vaccination against pneumococcal disease. If you fall into any of the following categories, speak to your doctor about the pneumococcal vaccine.
• Young children who attend nursery school.
• Individuals who smoke tobacco products.
• Anyone who has experienced the flu.
• Seniors over the age of 65-years old.
• People who have diabetes.
• Patients with existing lung disease.
These high-risk individuals not only present a risk to themselves but to those around them as well. Pneumonia is a highly infectious condition that spreads readily through contact with body fluids – such as airborne particles you breathe in after an infected person sneezes or coughs around you.
