Disease Prevention--Protect Those Around You - 0 views

  •  
    Vaccines are injection into the fatty tissue of the body, they have the same antigens as if it was the actually disease. Though the antigens that are injected are not as strong as the actually disease. The objective is to produce antigens to protect immune system. The body will then attack the antigens to produce antibodies to fight against the real disease if it presents itself.

How safe is immunization - 0 views

  •  
    Many claim that vaccinations cause death. However, when ministries of health perform an examination they make sure that vaccinations are not the cause. If so, then it is most likely that is it a programmatic error not vaccine manufacture error. Once a child is vaccinated, usually the only side effects are sore arms or mild fever. Most effects of vaccination can be controlled by taking paracetamol. To accurately asses some of the more serious effects would be hard since they are so far and in between. We must remember that vaccinations are safe for our children.

    This article has 3 issues, the TSA, wikileaks and the drink Four Loko. First it talk about how american dont like the fact TSA is not fair with how they screen for bombs and such things but they want to be have a safe flight to go see reltives or a fun vactions. Then the government doesn't like that the website has taps on them when wikileaks reports on what they are doing but do not have a problem when it comes to tapping the americans phone calls. Lastly the state of New York banned the drink of Four Loko claiming that it is bad for americans but again wants to play big brother and tells us what is right or wrong. We as americans should decided what is good or not for our bodies.

Equal Healthcare - 0 views

  •  
    Some believe equal healthcare is not really going to be equal. The author uses a car repair shop as an analogy. Depending on how much and what type of repair needs then we as americans decided what to repair and how much we will be able to pay. He claims that healthcare is about your social standing in life instead of what is causing your illness. Those with a comfortable living have a better chance to help themselves stay healthy than those whom living below the poverty level.

Smoking - 0 views

    There is an organization in Illinois that stands up for smokers in that state. Some think that by banning smoking in some bars and resturants will hurt the business not help. Garnet Scheuer, chair person, believes that it should be up to the private business owners to decide whether they should have smoking allowed in their establishment not the state itself. He believes that there is no difference between a smoker and non smoker rights. A smoker should have the same rights!

To parent or not to parent? - 0 views

  •  
    Some believe that parents should take control what happen in their families. Those same parents wants the government to handle what happen with other and their lifestyles. The government is trying to decide how to control how a person gambles with or without the interenet. Who are we to tell someone when to gamble and how often to gamble. The internet is a freedom to do what we want to do in it. Each familiy should not be told what to search or what game to play when using the internet.
