WeChat WeChat official account "Focus on Vaccine Safety" article (picture from screenshot)
In March this year, Weibo blogger @ Emergency Nighthawk broke the news, and the official account of WeChat, a WeChat named "Pay attention to vaccine safety", wrote, "For the sake of children's health, please stay away from vaccines". The article emphasizes the harm of vaccination with a lot of space, claiming that traditional Chinese medicine can replace vaccine to prevent and treat diseases. In the comment area of the article, many parents expressed their support, claiming that they would "resolutely not vaccinate", and even some parents said that "whoever dares to vaccinate my child, I will fight with him". What is even more outrageous is that the author of this article said that "no vaccine can be given, including rabies vaccine".
Vaccine is the guardian of human health, and the public should be vaccinated according to law.
Liu Zhao, the attending physician of Beijing Jianze Chinese Medicine Clinic, said that vaccination can effectively prevent some serious infectious diseases, which will threaten people's health and even life. Nowadays, many diseases are not circulating or even dying, which should be attributed to vaccination. Liu Zhao emphasized that "whether an individual is vaccinated is not only his own business, but also involves the public health and safety of the whole society. The higher the vaccination rate, the less likely the infectious disease will spread. In addition, China has laws and regulations specifically targeting vaccines, such as the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases in People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Regulations on the Administration of Vaccine Circulation and Vaccination. "
Wang Guangtao, deputy chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the 306th Hospital of China People's Liberation Army and director of the Chinese Society of Ethnic Medicine, said, "The advantages of vaccination far outweigh the disadvantages, which is understandable. The experience and achievements summarized by human beings in historical practice again and again are indisputable."
What do you know about vaccines?
Vaccines have played an important role in overcoming diseases such as smallpox and rabies.
"Treating smallpox as a disease is inseparable for human beings to overcome it," Liu Zhao said. There are documents in Qing Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty in Qin Long, China, people in Taiping County, Anhui Province used the "human pox vaccination method" to prevent smallpox. This method is no different from vaccination in modern immunology. "Human pox vaccination" spread to the Arab region through the ancient Silk Road, and then to the European continent through Turkey. This is the world.
Wang Guangtao also said: "Through vaccination, human beings have effectively controlled the infectious disease of smallpox all over the world. China stopped vaccinating against smallpox in 1980s, which shows that we have defeated the disease. It can be seen that the role of vaccines is indispensable. "
Let me talk about rabies again. Rabies is a worldwide problem at present, and the cure rate is almost zero. However, the author of the article "For the sake of children's health, please stay away from vaccines" actually put forward the remark that "all vaccines can't be used, including rabies vaccine, and Chinese medicine can replace vaccines". In this regard, Liu Zhao wrote in Weibo (Weibo name: TCM Liu Zhao) that Ge Hong in Jin Dynasty wrote in Elbow Emergency Prescription that after being bitten by a mad dog, "the bitten dog will be killed and its brain will not recur", but it still cannot hide the brilliance of his immune thought. /kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, Pasteur, the founder of microbiology, discovered rabies virus antibodies in the brain of rabies. True Chinese medicine will inherit the ideas of predecessors, be tolerant and enterprising, and keep innovating, instead of barking at the sun like rabies.
"Refusing vaccine" is a blind denial of modern medicine and has no scientific basis.
Liu Zhao also pointed out in the Weibo that Chinese medicine not only never refused to accept vaccines, but also pioneered vaccination. I hope that the initiator of the "refusal of vaccines" incident will not spread such rumors in the future.
Wang Guangtao also said that it is very irrational to refuse vaccination. The initiator of the "refusal of vaccine" incident blindly denied modern medicine, and his remarks were unscientific.
Weibo blogger @ First Aid Nighthawk, who first broke the news, said that there are always cases of adverse reactions caused by vaccines in reality, but the coverage and quality of our medical services are still insufficient, which makes some people with ulterior motives use the topic to promote their so-called "medical views and values". How to carry out health education and popular science and make more people realize the scientific nature of vaccines is a problem worthy of our consideration.
