VACCINATION IS A BLUNT AND HIGHLY IMPERFECT INSTRUMENT. THE MAIN PROBLEM ISN'T SO MUCH THAT VACCINES DON'T WORK, BUT THAT THEY WORK HAPHAZARDLY. THE PREMISE OF VACCINATION RESTS ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT INJECTING AN INDIVIDUAL WITH WEAKENED LIVE OR KILLED VIRUS WILL 'TRICK' HIS BODY INTO DEVELOPING ANTIBODIES TO THE DISEASE, AS IT DOES WHEN IT CONTRACTS AN ILLNESS NATURALLY. BUT MEDICINE DOESN'T REALLY KNOW WHETHER VACCINES WORK FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. ALL THAT THE USUAL SCIENTIFIC STUDIES CAN DEMONSTRATE (AS THEY ARE ONLY CONDUCTED OVER THE SHORT TERM) IS THAT VACCINES MAY CREATE ANTIBODIES IN THE BLOOD. |
