was gonna make a vak joke but i remembered they aren't reapers anymore |

cons should be possibility of allergic reactions, or the actual needle getting broken and stuck in your arm, which sounds funny and hurts like crazy. I know from experience |

Well vaccinations can actually get you sick with what they cure if your body is to weak to fight the small dose they give you. But that isn't very likely.

Some vaccinations are unnecessary, like flu vaccinations.
Your body can build immunity to things like that itself.

Well its a WAC (Writing Across Curriculum)
Like the WAC's for practicing ur writing skills
And because in science we're learning about vaccines
My teacher decided to make us write an essay about whether or not vaccinations is good or bad |

I had flu once and it wasn't so bad. Haven't had it since and never got sick with more than a sore throat since.

the only bad thing concerning the topic of vaccines would be that you're not taking them.
because then there's the case where diseases that we've wiped out or nearly wiped out COME BACK.
vaccines might get you sick, but it exposes your immune system to the disease and helps you build an immunity.
there also shouldn't be any cons aside from MAYBE getting sick. a lot of the "vaccinations cause mental disorders" data is faked by doctors. |

Vaccinations have helped eradicate multiple diseases in first world countries, such as polio. It also helps those who are immunocompromised.
Immunocompromised people are people (often those with birth defects, AIDS, or a weak immune system from chemotherapy) who, essentially, have an abnormally weak immune system. When other people around immunocompromised people are vaccinated, it's called herd immunity. It essentially makes it very very hard for the immunocompromised person to get infected, unless the pathogen survives in the wild.
Additionally, it helps prevent old people from getting sick. Technically they'e usually immunocompromised as well, but it's not as severe in most cases. Herd immunity around elders can help prevent debilitating sicknesses, as even the flu can weaken other parts of the body in old people very easily. This is why employees in a retirement home are often required to get multiple vaccinations, including the flu vaccine.
As for cons, there really aren't many for the general public assuming you have a well trained nurse/doctor administering the vaccine. The largest con possible is a severe allergic reaction to the infection.
Sometimes there is an adverse reaction, such as brief sickness, irritation, etc. However, it's usually not as bad as it would be without the vaccine.
If administered by a doctor/nurse in a doctor's office, the odds of an adverse reaction to the vaccine are very slim unless you have an allergy to an ingredient in the vaccine.

Most vaccines are undoubtedly good. However, there are a couple vaccines (specifically for certain STD's) that can cause adverse reactions. The common vaccinations in first world countries don't usually have any negative long term effects.
Like I said in the previous post, vaccinations increase herd immunity, increasing the life expectancy of immunocompromised. Of course, by preventing diseases such as polio, it also increases life expectancy in people with normal immune systems.
Vaccinations also allow doctors to spend more time, money, and research on other issues that are more relevant this day in age. For example, it allows more doctors to focus on oncology and prevention of cancer, rather than trying to find a treatment for polio, even though we already have a vaccination.
eh I might think of more stuff

Over vaccinations tend to make the body immune to antibodies that then allow the actual drug to sweep in and wreck havoc. I mean, the biggest issue that was mentioned above is that each year influenza adapts to get around the flue shot, and the flue shot has to be adapted. However there will come a time when our bodies are fed so many antibodies that all the virus' will be able to work around them.
However they are really essential for more dangerous virus' I mean a lot of the worlds most dangerous virus' have been eradicated through the use of Vaccines. |

@keep
that only happens with evolving pathogens
that effect is way more prevalent in incomplete antibacterial use - if you're supposed to take an antibacterial and don't take all of it, the pathogen will grow a resistance to that medicine, and, if it survives, will become a lot harder to treat
