My name is Ethan Wade and I attend Trinity College Senior, for an assignment I am conducting surveys to collect primary based information regarding the topic of vaccines being relevant due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. It would be greatly appreciated if you were to respond and answer the questions below.
1. Do you believe vaccines should be mandatory, are they effective means of immunization?
2. Is the creation of vaccines ethical? Why/Why not
3. Is the Anti-vaxxer movement correct in assuming vaccines are unethical and ineffective?
4. Is Herd immunity an effective method of immunization?
Any further information regarding vaccines and immunizations
Thank you for your time and co-operation during these difficult times.
1. Vaccines should not be mandatory. 2. They can be if they are tested properly. 3. Depends on how the testing is done. There are protocols that have been used for many years. 4. No. The vaccines that have been around for a long time, like years, have had time for problems to show up so the dangerous and ineffective ones can be weeded out. The covid shots are not vaccines because they dont prevent covid from happening. Its just about impossible to have a vaccine for a virus because they changed so quickly and so often. Note the percentage of effectiveness flu shots. Every year we are told how effective this batch has been in preventing the flu. However, prdireeople who are very susceptible to respiratory infections may have less severity of the infection if they have the shots. 5. Stell Ardire 6. 7. 8.

Yes, they should be mandatory and unless someone has proven allergy to the vaccine. Otherwise, everyone should be required to be vaccinated unless they can prove immunity. "Are they effective" is a stupid question. They would not be approved unless proven effective in clinical trials. 2. It is unethical not to vaccinate against dangerous illnesses caused by viruses and bacteria. Millions upon millions of people would be dead from polio, smallpox, measles, meningitis, etc., if not for vaccines. Do not be brainwashed by the anti-VAXers. 3. Anti-VAXers are dangerous and spreading a dangerous message. They are completely wrong. 4. "Herd immunity" is not a form of immunization. It occurs when 80% of the populations is resistant to the disease because they have survived it. If there is no vaccine, this may occur after millions have already died from the disease. A population may safely develop "herd immunity" after the majority of the population has been vaccinated.
