Do Vaccines Cause the Diseases They Are Meant to Prevent?
Vaccines use killed or weakened forms of pathogens, which cannot cause the disease in healthy individuals. For example, the inactivated polio vaccine uses a virus that has been killed, while the live attenuated influenza vaccine uses a weakened virus. These forms are sufficient to stimulate the immune system without causing the actual disease.
In conclusion, vaccine misconceptions often arise from misinformation and a lack of understanding about how vaccines work. By addressing these misconceptions with evidence-based information, we can help improve public confidence in vaccines and ensure a healthier future for everyone.
