[QUOTE="VitruvianDoc, post: 1340867, member: 13736"] Simply to answer the latter questions in simple: Vaccines use antigenic (parts of the bad bug, but rarely the whole bug) proteins that are studied, isolated, and shown to be extremely stimulating to the immune system. The immune system uses these antigenic proteins to identify if its a part of the body or foreign (like passports). If its something new, it takes longer to react to and is typically more severe since it hasn't been seen before. If its a previous violater, its caught quicker and taken care off most often without symptoms. Based on endemic disease (illness that are always within a certain country) you should be on a regiment to keep immunity to that disease. If you visit a country, you should always be treated for their endemic diseases. There is another concept of herd immunity where if enough, but not everyone, gets vaccinated, you can successfully block a disease by destroying the chain of transmission. The reason you have "side-effects" depends on your immune system, and previous exposure to either wild-type or isolated proteins. As said before, your body is developing the ability to recognize a new bad bug therefore you may have some of the symptoms of actually being sick. And now to please first request, Avatar is changed. This is something I spent a lot of time researching and when mislead media leads people to false conclusions that are further propagated, it is BS. When the health of innocent people are compromised such as the mump outbreak that happened in the north east not too long ago, it is very disturbing. My relation to OSU has nothing to do with my opinion just as the OU and OSU bumper stickers on every car out there doesn't make that person a spokesperson for the school. [/QUOTE]
