Parents are questioning authorities and doctors about the use of vaccines, due to the fact that vaccines are known to cause adverse affects in children. Introducing small portions of various viruses and bacteria may harm children and may even cause death.
A vaccine may trigger Psoriasis Appearance in some children, just as an infectious virus or bacteria itself (see Virus and Psoriasis Theory).
At the top of the stack is your child's health, and therefore it is very important to learn about every particular vaccine as much as possible.
What is a Vaccine?
A vaccine is a small portion of a virus (or bacteria), introduced into your body. In response our body starts creating the antibodies to fight this particular virus (or bacteria).
The antibodies (anti = against, in this case against a bacteria or a virus) stay in our body for life (or for a period like months, years), and in the case that a "wild", real world virus enters our body - the antibodies are already there and ready to kill it.
Some vaccines provide the protection for life, others need "boosters" (additional doses of the virus or bacteria vaccine, in order to keep the level of protection high enough in case it has lowered).
Immunization is not a 100% guarantee from an infectious disease. It will prevent the serious symptoms, but sometimes not the mild symptoms of the disease.
Well, actually the vaccine itself may cause mild symptoms of the infectious disease (i.e. a weakened live vaccine, as it may start to reproduce).
This is when we start seeing the Vaccine-Psoriasis Interrelation - if a vaccine acts as a mild version of the infectious disease then it may become the trigger of psoriasis development in a child, just as the infectious disease itself could.
Infants get the antibodies through the placenta of their mother, so they come into this world protected. Then the immunity, which they obtained from their mother, starts wearing off within the first year of the child's life. Some vaccines are given to infants, but sometimes a small child's (4-6 months old) immune system can not adequately respond to a vaccine.
A child usually receives about 30 doses of the below 10 vaccinations by the age of 5 y/o.
10 Vaccines Recommended in Most States:
- Hepatitis B;
- Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough);
- Influenza type B;
- Polio;
- Measles, mumps, and rubella combination vaccine;
- Varicella-chicken pox.
An up-to-date list of the vaccines recommended by the U.S. government and mandated by the states: www.aap.org/family/parents/immunize.htm
Live Vaccine and Psoriasis
Live vaccine is made from a living virus (or bacteria) and then attenuated (weakened). Live vaccine can cause a mild version of the disease it's supposed to protect from, because live vaccine contains live virus or bacteria, capable of reproduction.
Examples of live vaccines are: polio (oral), measles, mumps, chicken pox, rubella, and yellow fever, typhoid fever and tuberculosis.
Live Vaccine-Psoriasis Interrelation may be Dangerous, as live vaccine particularly acts as a mild version of the infectious disease, and therefore may become the trigger of psoriasis development in a child.
Dead Vaccine and Psoriasis
Dead Vaccine-Psoriasis Interrelation might be Safer, as the virus or the bacteria it contains is killed or inactivated. Killed virus or bacteria can not reproduce, so it can not cause a mild version of the disease.
Examples of killed vaccines are: cholera, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, influenza, Lyme disease, plague, pertussis (whooping cough), polio (injected), rabies, typhoid, diphtheria (inactivated bacteria toxins) and tetanus (inactivated bacteria toxins).
Recombinant DNA Vaccine and Psoriasis
Recombinant DNA Vaccine is created through Genetic engineering. They do not use the entire virus (or bacteria) organism, but only its portion - a specific agent.
Some scientists say that Recombinant DNA Vaccines are safer.
But Recombinant DNA Vaccines may cause the immune system to produce such antibodies, which may actually attack parts of the body, causing various health problems. Recombinant DNA Vaccines are still not too well studied.
Recombinant DNA Vaccine-Psoriasis Interrelation may be Dangerous. One of the mechanisms involved in the development of psoriasis is particularly the autoimmune aggression (see Autoimmune Psoriasis Theory) - when the immune system starts attacking the healthy cells of the body itself; therefore Recombinant DNA Vaccines nowadays may be the least safe for psoriasis.
Vaccine Boosters
Boosters are additional doses of the virus or bacteria vaccine, in order to keep the level of protection high enough in case it has lowered. Boosters are given months or weeks after the first vaccination.
Doctors often do not check if the content of the vaccine in the child's body is still high enough and just give a booster. Parents may ask for the tests to be performed before giving the "booster".
Children often get harmed by vaccines. Here is the list of the info centers that deal with that:
- National Vaccine Information Center;
- National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program;
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;
- Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System.
Conclusion
In the past we were lucky to stop the epidemics of diphtheria, measles, polio and smallpox. Nowadays new vaccines are being developed every day.
Parents should learn more about the particular vaccinations in order to protect their children's health even better.
Psoriasis-vaccine interrelation is real, but it needs to be studied much more by the government, the scientists, the doctors and the parents.
Every parent should try to learn both about the advantages as well as the dangers associated with every vaccine, each and every time this particular vaccine is given to your child.
