關于疫苗的雅思作文范文

　　Should parents be obliged to immunize their children against common childhood disease? Or do individuals have the right to choose not to immunize their children?　　家長是必須讓他們的孩子接種疫苗以便抵抗兒童疾病還是家長有權利選擇他們的孩子不接種疫苗呢？

　　The issue of whether we should force parents to immunize their children against common diseases is, in my opinion, a social rather than a medical question. Since we are free to choose what we expose our bodies to in the way of food, drink, or religion for that matter, why should the question of medical “treatment” be any different?

　　Medical researchers and governments are primarily interested in overall statistics and trends and in money saving schemes which fail to take the individual's concerns and rights into consideration.While immunization against diseases such as tetanus and whooping cough may be effective, little information is released about the harmful effects of vaccinations which can sometimes result in stunted growth or even death. The body is designed to resist disease and to create its own natural immunity through contact with that disease.So when children are given artificial immunity, we create a vulnerable society which is entirely dependent on immunization. In the event that mass immunization programs were to cease, the society as a whole would be more at risk than ever before.

　　In addition there is the issue of the rights of the individual. As members of a society, whys hould we be obliged to subject our children to this potentially harmful practice? Some people may also be against immunization on religious grounds and their needs must also be considered.For these reasons I feel strongly that immunization programs should not be obligatory and that the individual should have the right to choose whether or not to participate.

　　我們是否應該強迫家長讓他們的孩子接種疫苗以便于抵抗兒童疾病，在我看來，這是一個社會問題而不是醫學問題。既然我們能自由地選擇以多種方式來彰顯個性，比如在食物、飲品以及宗教信仰方面，在這個醫學治療的問題上又有什么不同呢？

　　醫學研究人員及政府主要對總體數據和趨勢以及省錢的方案感興趣，很少考慮到個人的憂慮和權益。盡管接種疫苗對預防某些疾病是有效的，例如，破傷風以及百日咳，然而政府幾乎不發布關于疫苗會產生的副作用，即使接種疫苗有可能導致發育不良甚至是死亡。

　　人類的身體能夠有計劃地抵抗疾病并且能夠通過接觸那種疾病產生抗體。因此當孩子們接受了人工疫苗時，我們就創造了一個脆弱的完全依賴于疫苗的社會。在這種情況下，如果群眾接受免疫的項目被叫停，那么整個社會將會面臨前所未有的危險情況。

　　此外，這關系到個人權益的問題。作為社會成員，為什么必須讓我們的孩子去做一個面臨潛在危險的練習呢？還有一些人反對接種疫苗也是出于宗教信仰的考慮，他們的這種需求應該值得認真考慮。

　　根據以上這些原因，我強烈反對疫苗項目的義務化和責任化，個人應該享有接受或老不接受的權力。
