  1. AIDS The causes

  2. In 1996, Russia experienced its economy collapsing. As a result, AIDS broke loose.

  3. Russians saw an increase in unemployment, alcoholism, crime and drugs at this time. Some of which are candidates as causes for the spreading of AIDS.

  4. This is an example of how the spreading of AIDS is interconnected with society and our habits.

  5. AIDS can be spread through: sexual intercourse The HIV virus present in sexual fluids can be spread this way.

  6. AIDS can be spread through: shared needles Since the HIV virus is present in blood, shared needles or injections (for drugs and such) can spread AIDS.

  7. AIDS can be spread through: child transmission The virus can be transmitted from mother to child in the womb or through breast-feeding.

  8. AIDS can be spread through: blood transmission Since HIV is present in blood, AIDS can spread when blood with HIV is enters another person’s circulatory system.

  9. AIDS The solution

  10. Through this presentation, it is evident that the spreading of AIDS has a social link. By targeting and fixing the root of the cause, we can prevent AIDS.

  11. A expensive preventative vaccine with deadly side effects is not needed to protect the unaffected…

  12. … instead educating all about the causes, the problems, the solutions is a safer method.

  13. AIDS can be prevented by engaging in: safe sex • The use of condoms might prevent the transmission of the HIV virus.

  14. AIDS can be prevented by limiting: sexual partners • Thus, limiting the possibility of obtaining or transmitting the virus.

  15. AIDS can be prevented by: eliminating poverty • Eliminating poverty gets rid of many causes of AIDS, like prostitution and drugs.

  16. AIDS can be prevented by accepting: homosexuals • Accepting homosexual people would encourage gay marriages and reinforce the idea of single sexual partners.

  18. The Government’s Role

  19. Vaccines • WHO: A vaccine is any preparation intended to produce immunity to a disease by stimulating the production of antibodies. • Vaccinations include suspensions of killed or attenuated microorganisms, or products or derivatives of microorganisms.

  20. WHO • World Health Organization • Authority for health within United Nations • Leadership in global health concerns • Research • Establish global standards • Provide health support to nations • Though not a government itself, the WHO is comprised of the governments of 193 member states

  21. Target population immunized increasing every year, in every region.

  22. Regulation and Supply • WHO is involved in the regulation and supply of vaccinations worldwide • Supplies especially to Third World Countries and nations in pandemic/epidemic crisis • “The right vaccine, in the right place, at the right time”

  23. RED – Reaching Every District • 2002 – global immunization goal 80% • 2010 – goal 90% nationally

  24. Routine Immunization • As of January 2009, “Immunization is no longer limited to the classic six vaccines for children.” • Immunizations are moving beyond the traditional amount, and are being used “to prevent disease, disability and death.” • WHO strategy influences government policy worldwide, thus more vaccinations are becoming commonplace

  25. School-based Immunization • Access to children through school • School enrollment increasing, therefore more children available to vaccinate • Aim: “protect more children in a changing world.” • Expansion of vaccination “beyond the traditional target group of infants.” • Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Tunisia – established school-based immunization programs

  26. Benefits of WHO involvement • Establishes world vaccination standards • Ensures procedure/equipment safety, proper vaccines • Aids individual governments in creating vaccination/health policy • Centralized funding and research • World Organization = mutual aid

  27. Disadvantages of WHO Involvement • Government is under external influence • Standards and Regulations leave little choice in determining policy • Government must conform to WHO international/regional policy • Signatory countries are legally bound by WHO constitution

  28. Article 21, WHO constitution • The Health Assembly shall have authority to adopt regulations concerning: • (a) sanitary and quarantine requirements and other procedures designed to prevent the international spread of disease; • (b) nomenclatures with respect to diseases, causes of death and public health practices; • (c) standards with respect to diagnostic procedures for international use; • (d) standards with respect to the safety, purity and potency of biological, • pharmaceutical and similar products moving in international commerce; • (e) advertising and labelling of biological, pharmaceutical and similar products moving in international commerce.

  29. Article 21 cont’d • Essentially, the WHO has the authority to impose an international/regional health crisis, and order the course of action it deems appropriate • Vaccinations, quarantine, etc

  30. Canadian Government • Offers free vaccinations through Canada Health Care Plan • Regulates production of vaccines in accordance with WHO, as do other individual government agencies

  31. Media • Media and government combine to exaggerate situations of epidemic • Media pressure causes governments to declare epidemic/pandemic when unnecessary • Media influences people, false facts • Pressure on government for vaccines that are not always needed • Public sentiment out of hand

  32. Government Reaction • Declaration of state of epidemic/pandemic frequently leads to vaccination shortages • Vaccinations for those who do not need them (Have no contact with infected, no risk situations)

  33. Forced Vaccinations • Government requires people in certain professions to have a minimum number of vaccinations • Military • Nursing/Doctoring • School

  34. School Vaccinations • Government requires certain vaccinations for school attendance • Ex: Peel District School Board • Mandatory Hepatitis B vaccinations • Students without these vaccinations have been notified that they will be expelled • Students are required to routinely ‘update their health records’ with the school board

  35. Conclusion • Government role in vaccinations is beneficial in an international community • Allows for mutual aid and advanced research/production/funding • Government, combined with Media, exaggerates situation and can have a negative influence on the populous • Can lead to vaccine shortages, unnecessary vaccinations • Government puts pressure on people to get vaccinations that not necessarily needed

  37. Anti-Vaccination: Views of Parents

  38. Parents refuse to give vaccinations to their infants • Rather take a chance with the disease instead • Taking vaccination will put the disease in the body • Could potentially damage the child for life

  39. Don’t want to be pressurized by government • Nothing proven to be 100% absolute in any vaccination • Some parents prefer their child to get well on their own and build a stronger immune system rather than intervene with vaccines or antibiotics

  40. Vaccines contain toxic additives and heavy metals. • Ingredients includes toxins such as formaldehyde (Queensland Poisons Control Centre has said was “unsafe at any level if injected into the human body”), carbolic acid, aluminium (possible development of Alzheimer’s disease and allergies), and Thiomersal (mercury - based preservative/ neurotoxin) • Contaminated with human and animal viruses and bacteria • Most childhood vaccines are cultured on sometimes animal tissue, animal broth or blood products of some kind. • Not able to guarantee an uncontaminated vaccine

  41. Can cause serious immediate side effects • Some cases have shown convulsions and epilepsy, slight/ permanent brain damage, life threatening allergic reactions, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). • Can cause serious long-term side effects • Conditions such as Asthma, Eczema, Food Allergies, Chronic Ear Infections, Diabetes, Arthritis, Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder, Hyperactivity, Multiple Sclerosis, Cancer and other conditions

  42. Vaccines do not have guaranteed protection against infectious diseases • Parents are asked to give their children vaccines that at best, will provide a temporary sensitization to illnesses and at worst, can make their children more susceptible to both opportunistic and infectious illness.
