Study Questions:

1) What are vaccines?

2) How are vaccines produced? What is the starting material?

3) How safe are vaccines?

4) What are some fears about vaccines?

5) Why should we worry about contaminated vaccines?

A big question is: Why do people who take the rotavirus vaccine develop cancer? 
Here is a link to Health Maven which has a lot of issues to think about.

It should be known that vaccines were experimented by doctors in order to find a cure. In the early days (1800s to the turn of the 20th Century), experiments were done by doctors on their own, in their own "labs". These early "labs" were usually their own farms or homes. At home, either the attic or the basement was used.

One doctor who experimented on a possible vaccine for demam kuning? was Dr Fisher. Dr Fisher had experimented on animal brains for a cure for what he thought had killed his father. He experimented on the brain of various animals including monkeys and guinea pigs. The ethical issues are: Is it ethical to use the brain of animals for vaccine experimentation? How were the animal brains obtained? If the animals had to be sacrificed and the brains obtained for experimentation, how were the animals sacrificed? Were the animals subject to grievous pain before killing? How were the animals killed? Is killing animals for experimentation allowed? In the case of Dr Fisher, his animals were subjected to a lot of fear and pain. Even after Dr Fisher died and his home was sold, the spirits of the animals killed for his experiments still haunt his basement till the ghost busters team came and drove them out. Two questions still worry us: Why did Dr Fisher subject his experimental animals to a lot of pain? Did he use live brains and therefore the animals were alive when their skulls were cracked open? We don't know the truth of the nature of his experiments until someone can reveal that. Until then we still have to worry about use of animals for experiments. Vaccines maybe profitable but is it ethical to use animal brains for their experimentation?
