Article: Are Vaccines Worth It?

Are Vaccines Worth It?

(Opinion piece by Christine Wilford, DVM reprinted with permission from Compassionate Solutions: Journal of the Feral Cat Spay and Neuter Project’s Spring 2009 edition; originally from November 2004 Feral Cat Times)

A well-respected, national rescue organization recently stated a great falsehood that vaccinating feral cats with FVRCP, the “distemper” (panleukopenia) and respiratory virus vaccine, was useless and not recommended. That is simply not true. Here are the facts:

There are two basic types of FVRCP vaccines: killed virus (KV) and modified live virus (MLV). To get immunity from killed virus vaccines, at least two doses are required. KV vaccines prime the immune system for creating protective immunity after a subsequent booster. The first dose shows the body the enemy and a second dose is given to generate protective immunity. Paired doses are required 3-5 weeks apart. Using killed virus vaccines for free-roaming cats is clearly undesirable, because giving boosters is impractical.

On the other hand, MLV vaccines begin stimulating immunity the first day they are given. The vaccine contains viruses that replicate in the cat’s body but do not cause disease. A booster 3-4 weeks later is never required nor recommended in cats over 14 weeks of age. Another benefit is that vaccinated cats can shed attenuated vaccine virus particles in the feces. These viruses do no harm, and actually stimulate immunity in other cats/kittens coming in contact with the feces. This is potentially valuable in colonies of free-roaming cats.

The only caution with MLV vaccines is hygiene. If the vaccine accidentally gets ON the cat instead of IN the cat, then it may cause some mildly runny eyes or mild sneezing. Vaccine virus cannot cause symptoms of distemper. MLV vaccine that gets topical should be cleaned off with a swab of alcohol.

Kittens under 14 weeks of age have varying levels of immunity from antibodies passed from their mother. Early in kittenhood, antibody levels are highest. As the weeks pass, antibodies gradually decline. For several weeks, antibody levels drop too low to protect from disease but remain too high to allow a vaccine to work. The antibodies “fight off” the vaccine. Known as the “critical period” or “vulnerable period” between 6-12 weeks, this stage of uncertainty is why tame kittens are vaccinated every 3-4 weeks until after 14 weeks of age. Vaccines given at the earliest point where the body can respond shortens the period that the kittens are vulnerable to diseases. By 14 weeks of age, the mother’s antibodies wear off enough to allow the vaccine to work. Therefore, any normal kitten over 14 weeks can receive one MLV vaccine and not need a booster.

So when considering vaccines, MLV vaccines can be effective with one injection. Do we recommend them for feral cats? That depends. NOT if it means less money available for surgeries. If your money is plentiful, then consider vaccinating. If money is limited, invest it in surgery. Dollar for dollar, spay/neuter is a better investment for the cat’s health and for the futures of many, many cats.

forgive me if you've been asked this before or if its annoying, but how did you learn to use colored pencils like that? your art is so special to me.

ty :) I took an art class for a few years where our teacher had us buy prismacolor pencils as one of the art supplies and had us use them kinda like paints, pressing down hard right away and blending the colors together. its not how youre supposed to use them she was just trying to teach us to use color and ig this was more to the point. I picked them up again years after i stopped going to that class just bc they were there and i wanted to play around w them a bit and ended up actually enjoying it when doing it on my own terms lol

#it was a weird class #it was just this russian lady doing private lessons in her house that my mom learned about somehow #I did NOT like those classes all we did was still life and they were hours long which is esp rough when im in high school and busy #and she wanted us to stand while working the whole time bc tradition i guess?#she did allow me to work sitting but thought i was lazy for it. idk dude i dont want to exhaust myself fast for no reason #standing is a lot more tiring than walking #i def did still benefit from those classes just from learning to accurately draw from life #did not like the teacher tho #on one hand shed paid for the art supplies for kids whos families were too poor to (and these are nice expensive supplies)#which is very nice #but on the other she was very homophobic and open about it #like when they legalized gay marriage she went on a rant about how horrible it is that they can adopt kids now #and also kind of racist #she was telling me how she got blocked from a facebook group bc she made a post asking if she could speak to a white person #and she didnt realize she was posting that publicly she thought it was a private message to the group owner #im honestly still not sure i heard/understood her correctly bc it was so bizzare and the only time i ever remember her being racist #she talked abt it like she genuienly was unaware it was racist #she described it as a misunderstanding bc she accidentally posted it publicly instead of privately #like it wouldnt have been racist to ask that at all #also one time she talked about how she saw demons in her home once #also she doesnt vaccinate her kids bc of microchips #she was like a walking russian stereotype lol #anyway heres some ink the artist lore

Don't you find the strict rules of society in Japan overwhelming for you and the kids?

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the appeal of a Minnesota woman who said she was wrongly denied unemployment benefits after being fired for refusing to be vaccinated for COVID-19 because of her religious beliefs.

The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development determined she wasn’t eligible for benefits because her reasons for refusing the vaccine were based less on religion and more on a lack of trust that the vaccine was effective.

The case shows that the vaccine debate continues to smolder after the pandemic and after the Supreme Court in 2022 halted enforcement of a Biden administration vaccine-or-testing mandate for large employers but declined to hear a challenge to the administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care facilities that receive federal funding.

Still pending is an appeal from military chaplains who challenged the military’s vaccination requirement. Although that requirement was later rescinded at the direction of Congress, the chaplains argue they lost out on training opportunities and promotions because they requested religious exemptions.

Minnesota said the unemployment benefit appeal denied Monday wasn’t worth the Supreme Court’s time because benefits have been given to others who were found to have a sincerely held religious objection to the vaccine, so there’s no overarching question to address.

Lawyers for the Upper Midwest Law Center, which represented Tina Goede, had argued she was treated differently by the Minnesota courts than others who successfully appealed their denial of benefits.

REFUSING TO GET VACCINATED, FIRED FROM A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY

After refusing to get vaccinated, Goede was fired in 2022 from her job as an account sales manager for the pharmaceutical company Astra Zeneca. Her position had required her to meet with customers in hospitals and clinics, some of which required proof of vaccination.

She told the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development her religious beliefs prohibit injecting foreign substances into her body, which is a “temple of the Holy Spirit.”

A Catholic opposed to abortion, Goede also objected to the COVID-19 vaccine because she believed it was manufactured using or tested on an aborted fetal-cell line. (A cell line from an abortion decades ago was used to create Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine. Fetal cells were used in the early testing, though not in the production, of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.)

But Goede told the unemployment law judge she wouldn’t receive the vaccine no matter how it was made “because it doesn’t work.”

The judge said Goede was declining to take some vaccines, but not others, “because she does not trust them, not because of a religious belief.”

Goede’s attorneys said the judge had interrogated her religious beliefs with “unfair `gotcha’ questioning."

“He couched his denial of benefits in Ms. Goede’s credibility and then discounted her religious beliefs by determining that her secular beliefs outweighed them,” the lawyers told the Supreme Court.

At the same time the Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld that decision last year, it reached the opposite conclusion for two others who had been denied benefits after asserting religious objections.

Goede’s lawyers said her case presented a question that will reoccur: how to analyze a religious objection to an employer policy when those objections coincide with secular beliefs.

in a perfect world i think i would be a science teacher

#idk i was taught so much misinformation about science growing up and i know kids these days dont have it much better so i wanna make it so #kids can learn and be fascinated by (real) science as much as i was as a kid learning about dinosaurs and space #not how i was as a kid learning about vaccines and medicine #and i truly do think that a foundation in one science will make it exceedingly difficult to be misinformed in any other science #since they all operate on the same exact principles #idk i want future generations to be as fascinated and filled with wonder about *everything* that young me #because nothing is as freeing as learning how everything truly works #i want future kids to be as fascinated by evolution and space as i was #but also with any other field of science because i think the more the general populous knows how things work #the less shitty our societies will be #and countless people will benefit in the long run #i want to teach the future generations of a future sunrise that i will never see #i want people invested in every aspect of learning and bettering our understanding of everything #including empathy and learning to relate to your fellow human and also your cousin species #because literally everything in this fucking universe is related to eachother #we are all born from the same stardust that would form the most massive of galaxies and the most minute of organisms #we should be taught that life is a miracle and we should treasure every bit of it we possibly can

he’s still not really eating and he seems really sad and he doesn’t meow anymore. he really wants inside but i can’t let him so i don’t know what to do. i don’t know if he’s still feeling off from being starved/trapped or if he’s injured or sick and that’s why he’s acting different. but at least he is back and he’s had a lot of cuddles today

#there’s places that will vaccinate him for slightly cheaper if i can prove my benefits status but #it’s more his general health right now that i am worried about #the vaccines are so i can let him inside but he just seems ill and under the weather #i can’t afford a vet appointment and if they found something they needed to give him meds for or operate on i couldn’t pay for it anyway

Have been feeling low-key under the weather for the past couple of days. More mild-to-moderate asthmatic than usual, too congested with thick gunk. Tired from a couple of flights of stairs. Needing lots of rest breaks. Steadily poorer performance in 5k times and stats (via my sports watch- numbers falling off a cliff with yesterday being so pathetic I gave up after 3.8k).

Today I didn’t want to get out of bed at all. Cold sore on my inner lip and very annoyed throat.

But eventually I did get up bc lunch smelled yummy and lured me down the stairs but work-reading is just ugh on my brain.

And then my phone notified me, via my state government, that 5 days ago I have been exposed to Covid (anonymized reporting with phone app). State gov pushed lots of useful info to my phone on what to do and what is available in my local area.

I have some old tests in a cupboard that the state provided for free last year. Will eventually give one of those a try and then off to the local testing center once I muster the energy.

No idea where I was that caused an exposure match and I tend to be ultra cautious but from what I think I have read via all those old public health/emergency planning/biostats and mathematical modeling lists that I never unsubscribed all these years later, this new variant is super contagious.

My neck aches.

Need to finish my coffee before I attempt to make sense of an at-home test.

Believe it or not, I have never done an at home test.

(Was tested a few times in 2021 at testing centers when ppl from my circle of local ppl texted/called me to say they were positive and/or had been exposed— all came back negative and I was fine too).

Whatever this is, hopefully it just remains low key annoying for a few days and only continues to make me want to wear insulated/fleece-lined yoga pants and curl up under a blanket with a hot mug of something by a window while watching the neighborhood do its thing (and my cat sits with me, watching birds and squirrels).

#i have had n-zillion vaccines #the most recent just a couple of months ago #like mid or late October ?#and lots of useful drugs at home #plus an infinite prednisone step down Rx #if I get desperately bad #plus the state gov send me test-n-treat info #so we’re good here #the benefits of a blue state that is trying #despite all of its problems

Ensuring the Safety of Our Little Ones: Exploring the Efficacy and Benefits of COVID Vaccines for Children

Introduction to COVID vaccines for children

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted all aspects of our lives, including the health and well-being of our children. As parents, it is our responsibility to ensure the safety and protection of our little ones in these challenging times. Vaccinating children against COVID is essential in safeguarding their health and preventing the spread of the virus. In this article, we will explore the efficacy and benefits of COVID vaccines for children, providing valuable insights into the importance of vaccination and addressing common concerns.

Understanding the importance of vaccinating children against COVID

Vaccinating children against COVID is crucial for several reasons. First and foremost, it helps protect them from the severe effects of the disease. While it is true that children generally experience milder symptoms compared to adults, there have been cases of severe illness and even death among young individuals. By vaccinating our children, we can significantly reduce their risk of developing severe complications from COVID.

Furthermore, vaccinating children is essential for controlling the spread of the virus. Although children may not exhibit severe symptoms, they can still contract and transmit the virus to others, including vulnerable individuals such as older people or those with compromised immune systems. By vaccinating our children, we can contribute to achieving herd immunity and minimize the overall impact of the pandemic.

COVID vaccine options for children - Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna

Currently, two COVID vaccine options are available for children: Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. The FDA has authorized both vaccines for emergency use in children aged 12 and above. Pfizer-BioNTech is approved for children aged 12 and above, while Moderna is permitted for individuals aged 18 and older. These vaccines have undergone rigorous testing and have proven safe and effective in preventing COVID infection.

It is important to note that clinical trials are currently underway to determine the safety and efficacy of COVID vaccines for younger children, including infants and toddlers. The results of these trials are highly anticipated and will provide valuable information regarding the vaccination of younger age groups. Currently, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has received emergency use authorization for children aged 12 and above, and the Moderna vaccine is authorized for individuals aged 18 and older.

Safety and efficacy of COVID vaccines for children

The safety and efficacy of COVID vaccines for children have been thoroughly evaluated through extensive clinical trials. These trials have shown that the vaccines effectively prevent COVID infection in children. In addition, vaccines have been proven to be safe, with minimal side effects.

The most common side effects reported in children who have received the COVID vaccine include pain at the injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills, fever, and nausea. These side effects are generally mild and short-lived, lasting only a few days. Serious adverse events are infrequent.

Age recommendations for COVID vaccination in children

The CDC recommends COVID vaccination for children aged 12 and above using the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. It is essential to follow the age recommendations healthcare professionals provide and adhere to the authorized use of vaccines.
