"Vaccines offer significant healthcare benefits in public health policy by preventing infectious diseases, reducing mortality and morbidity, and contributing to herd immunity. They also lower healthcare costs, enhance economic productivity, and improve overall population health.


Here's a more detailed look at the benefits:

• Disease Prevention:
  Vaccines work by stimulating the body's immune system to recognize and fight off specific diseases, preventing individuals from getting sick in the first place.

• Reduced Mortality and Morbidity:
  By preventing diseases, vaccines significantly reduce the number of deaths and illnesses caused by those diseases. For example, immunization prevents an estimated 2-3 million deaths annually from vaccine-preventable diseases according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
• Herd Immunity:
  Vaccination helps create herd immunity, where a large portion of the population is immune, protecting those who cannot be vaccinated (e.g., infants too young or individuals with compromised immune systems).
• Economic Benefits:
  Vaccination reduces healthcare costs associated with treating illnesses, including hospitalizations, medications, and doctor visits. It also increases economic productivity by reducing absenteeism from work and school.
• Improved Quality of Life:
  Vaccines enable individuals to live longer, healthier lives, supporting their independence and overall well-being.
• Eradication of Diseases:
  High vaccination coverage globally can lead to the eradication of certain diseases, as seen with smallpox and potentially with polio.
• Reduced Antibiotic Resistance:
  Vaccination can help reduce the burden of infectious diseases, thereby reducing the need for antibiotic use and potentially slowing the development of antibiotic resistance."

The chuksters still selling the snake oil, you might not be dumbest person on the planet but you better hope the dumbest person doesn’t die!

[chuckChuck]

Where is the evidence that vaccines are not good public health policy? LOL

Give up!

Do you use healthcare at all? If so why?

Time to send the antiscience antivaxers back to a middle ages plague!

The Value of Immunization in the
Future of Canada’s Health System

Executive Summary
One hundred years ago, infectious diseases were the leading cause of death
worldwide. In Canada, they now cause less than 5% of all deaths thanks to
immunization programs undertaken from coast to coast. Immunization
protects an entire population by preventing the spread of disease from one
individual to another: the more people immunized, the less chance for disease
to circulate. It is the single most cost-effective health investment, making
immunization a cornerstone of efforts to promote health.
Canadian children in all provinces are routinely immunized against nine
diseases: polio, pertussis, tetanus, diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae type b,
measles, mumps, rubella and hepatitis B. Vaccines are licensed federally in
Canada through Health Canada.

Provinces and territories select vaccines and
schedules according to the goals of their individual public health programs.
Many infectious diseases have been controlled but could return if
immunization is not maintained. Disease control requires the maintenance of
very high levels of immunization as infectious agents still circulate, though in
considerably reduced numbers. History demonstrates that when communities
do not maintain high immunization rates, diseases within and beyond those
communities can return. For example, risks for infectious diseases can arise
from travel to other countries where vaccine-preventable diseases are
widespread. Those returning to Canada with diseases that could have been
prevented through immunization can place considerable burden on the health
system.
Understanding the true value of vaccines is difficult when members of a
society can no longer recall the impact, and fear, of a disease that seems to
have vanished from their lives. It is imperative, therefore, that parents of
young children understand the importance of maintaining a schedule of
vaccinations for their children, and that adults recognize the importance of
timely booster doses of selected vaccines.
A successful immunization program contributes to stronger overall health by
providing a structural foundation and network of professionals for further
national health initiatives and partnerships. Immunization can be used as a
model for federal, provincial and territorial governments to improve public
health management, planning, forecasting, evaluation, inventory control,
health training, and public or community outreach.

THE VALUE OF IMMUNIZATION IN THE
FUTURE OF CANADA’S HEALTH SYSTEM
Canadians understand health as a public good, and while Canada’s health
system is basically sound, it can still be improved. There is a need to refocus
the balance. A publicly accessible health system should not only treat illness,
but also be designed to improve health, prevent illness and thus reduce the
need for treatment. The health system should be seen on a continuum from
prevention through to palliative care. A national immunization strategy
should be part of a broader national public health strategy.

Again, covid was different.
Smallpox and polio are deadly and preventable.

Agree , totally not the same situation, even remotely
Covid 19 was developed by Gain of Function in a lab … absolute fact

[cropgrower]

don't take much to manipulate the chucks , sadly thats a pretty big percentage or Canadians

[chuckChuck]

Fact: More people died of covid in Canada last year than of the flu.

But the rabid antivaxers like Crop will never admit their social media sources are wrong.

Crop lays out why antivaxer propaganda has taken over his antivaxer brain!

Covid vaccines reduce the severity of illness, hospitalization and deaths. Especially in seniors.

New research confirms again theses benefits of covid vaccines.

[blackpowder]

Sorry, couldn't Google that fact, please support.
Latest stat i can find is Oct/24 at 61 deaths nationwide.

[Grain Farmer]

Stat showed 60,000 people died from covid total.
that's . 00139% of Canada pop.
More people slip and die in the bath tub per yr.
What a scamdemic.
