... INMUNIZATION...

Hi everybody!!
I talk about a very interesting article about vaccines and immunization.
Article is available in:http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/oct/11/vaccination-fears-developing-world-deaths

The news talks about the many people are afraid of vaccines, pain, needles, and lately by the diseases they may cause, because immunizations are associated with the development of dangerous diseases such as: the vaccine against hepatitis B, multiple sclerosis occurs, the component Mercury in other vaccines cause autism, the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps and rubella) (included in the immunization program in Chile) is related to whooping cough, etc.

But none of this is proven, they are just rumors spread around the world, developed countries like France, UK, USA. through internet.However, it is relevant, because less industrialized countries, mainly from Asia and Africa (the highest rates are in South Africa and India), reject the vaccines even if they have high numbers of people who die or become ill each year.

Our fears of anti-vaccine groups created to excel in the developed world can not directly cause these problems, but "nurture and amplify them," said Dr. Heidi Larson of the vaccine program and policy group Imperial College London

What to do? so far only been designed to educate, inform and raise awareness, but not sufficient, it is necessary to make the change at the country and end the rumors, better known in each

For the other hand, there are places that progress in immunization, such as South America, has a high number of people vaccinated, even a relatively poor continent, including countries such as Bolivia, Peru, every year increase their numbers

Is very sad to be put at risk hundreds of lives by poor dissemination of information, and every day innocent people are dying, victims of the ignorance of those who decry the benefit offered to modern medicine for better health, especially in those need and are at a disadvantage.
