vakcine - institucije i poverenje

Nikad mi nece biti jasno zasto ljudi odbijaju da svoje zdravlje stave u ruke strucnjaka i vise veruju vradzbinama. Hajd' da je nesto bezveze u pitanju ali o zdravlju se radi. Zbog ovakvih stvari se moj deda raspopio pre skoro sedamdeset godina a ni danas nije puno bolja situacija. Ne razumem

Even many years later, when my mother told the story, fear still showed on her face. One morning in 1954, at the age of two, I awoke and told her that my head hurt. I had a fever, and she put me to bed. Over the next days, my temperature rose, and my headache worsened. My parents called our pediatrician, who came to our small apartment in Astoria, Queens. He found that my neck was stiff and my legs were weak. Polio, he said, was a possible diagnosis. There were tens of thousands of cases of the paralytic illness each year in the United States. The doctor insisted that I be hospitalized in an isolation unit in upper Manhattan. My parents readily complied.
After a week in the hospital, my temperature fell and my legs became stronger. Tests showed that it was not polio; the infection was never identified.¹
My mother and father feared debility and death due to pathogens. They were raised in immigrant New York neighborhoods at a time when diphtheria, typhoid, and tuberculosis were rife. My parents also knew that microbes were not restricted to the newly arrived and poor. Polio had struck the patrician FDR in his prime.
The world of my parents, and that of their children, dramatically improved in the latter half of the twentieth century as modern medicine introduced an array of effective vaccines and antibiotics. When the Salk vaccine against the polio virus became available a few years after my mysterious illness, I was inoculated, along with my siblings. The idea of preventing or curing dreaded infectious diseases “naturally,” relying on the body alone, hardly entered our minds.
But two generations later, such ideas have considerable traction in our society. Eula Biss, a writer who teaches at Northwestern University, seeks to understand their appeal, and whether they should be given credence. On Immunity is an effort to reconcile her divided feelings, fearing both infection and the imagined risks of vaccination. Her book weaves metaphor and myth, science and sociology, philosophy and politics into a tapestry rich with insight and intelligence.

Rasprave o vakcinaciji ove zime protiču na način da se stiče utisak kao da su se sukobile dve grupe poznavalaca problema slične snage i s podjednako ubedljivim argumentima. Istina je, međutim, da su na jednoj strani ne samo Ministarstvo zdravlja i celokupna mreža instituta i zavoda za narodno (javno) zdravlje, već strukovna udruženja (Srpsko lekarsko društvo, Lekarska komora Srbije) i sve akademske ustanove u zemlji, uključujući nadležne katedre sa pet postojećih državnih univerziteta. Pa, ko je onda na drugoj strani? - See more at: http://www.danas.rs/dodaci/nedelja/ko_su_protivnici_vakcinacije.26.html?news_id=297390#sthash.gHoPiU0Z.dpuf
