Hello and welcome to another 'Jessica is ill and all over the place' video!

程度の副詞

I did a public talk recently and since I have a compromised immune system my body just did

not take well to being around that many people.

Now, you may be asking: Jessica, if you're ill, why aren't you in bed?

Since I'm feeling terrible thanks to my lack of immunity and also too ill to stop

myself from being overly opinionated on the internet…

I thought I'd make a video about vaccinations!

I doubt anyone will get angry in the comments.

Absolutely no one will call anyone else stupid.

If you're an anti-vaxxer watching me right now, all I ask is that you hear me out and

If you enjoy hearing occasionally confronting factual information in a pleasant British

manner then please do tap the subscribe button underneath the video and make sure to also

hit the bell to be notified when I put  out a new video.

Oh god I think my face is going to explode

I feel like I got a nose job but it's still wonky.

I've always been quite interested in vaccinations and how they work but mainly just the drama

Sometimes I fall into the rabbit hole of reading YouTube comments on videos about vaccinating

or not vaccinating and it's honestly fascinating how absolutely confident people are in their

I often like to present both sides of an opinion in my videos, even if I personally come down

I'm quite empathetic and tend to see both sides so sometimes

I sit on the fence and let people express their feelings-

Also, anti-vaxxers, I know you mean well, I know you just want the best for your child,

but sometimes the logic you use is insulting to people with autism and other disabilities.

Personally I'd rather risk my imaginary child becoming disabled than becoming dead

If you don't know: a Vaccination is the administration of antigenic material to stimulate

an body's immune system to develop adaptive immunity to a pathogen.

To break that down… a vaccine contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism-

like polio or measles- but is made from a weakened or killed forms of the microbe, or

its toxins, or a protein that you would find on the outside of it.

But it's not the actual bad thing itself.

This is put into your body and once your healthy immune system comes into contact with it nearly

magically it will fight the threat, destroy it and not only that, it will learn to recognise

and destroy associated microorganisms in the future.

So the next time you come across polio or measles your body goes-

Unless you're like me and you immune system just rolls over and plays dead.

When no one is immunised a contagious disease will spread quickly through the population.

When some of the population gets immunised a contagious disease will spread quickly through

And when MOST of the population gets immunised, the spread of the contagious disease is contained,

protecting the few who can't be immunised.

You know what vaccinations are, you know what herd immunity is.

Also, I did Science for Public Understanding at A Level and I loved it.

We learnt about how vaccines were first created: when in 1796 Doctor Edward Jenner noticed

that milkmaids, who had caught the mild disease cowpox,

(because they spent a lot of time with cows)

one of the greatest killers of the period.

In order to test this Jenner inserted pus from a cowpox pustule into an incision on

the arm of an eight-year-old boy, James Phipps.

Jenner subsequently proved that having been inoculated with cowpox Phipps was immune to

He submitted a paper to the Royal Society in 1797 describing his experiment, but was

told that his ideas were too revolutionary and that he needed more proof.

Undaunted, Jenner experimented on several other children, including his own 11-month-old

Jenner was widely ridiculed but had the last laugh… because he wasn't dead.

According to the World Health Organisation:

Immunization currently prevents between 2–3 million deaths every year

Global measles mortality has declined by 84%

Because there are some people who aren't buying.

In 2016 The Americas were declared free from measles… but not any more!

Despite the WHO declaring that measles vaccine prevented an estimated 21.1 million deaths

worldwide from 2000 to 2017… some people have stopped vaccinating their children.

Opposition to vaccination has existed as long as vaccination itself, it's not a new trend

There are a variety of reasons why: including sanitary, religious, scientific, and political objections.

There are a lot of angry voices on both sides-
