A position paper on : The cause of Dengvaxia

By: Shirlen Me Calibayan Susada

INTRODUCTION

The topic are very popular to us. Until now we don’t know how to solve it. Dengue
vaccine is a vaccine to prevent fever in chicies. The World Health Organization only
recommends the vaccine as a possible option in areas of then world where the disease is
common. This has caused a scandal in the Philippines were more than 733,00 children’s were
vaccinated regardless of zero status. Many children do drugs instead of helping them feels like
they have serious chronic illness leading to death. I disagree in this Dengue vaccine. Why do
they still allow children to take dengvaxia even when they know the children’s illness? Just think
about this topic. I mean what if you are given the chance to inject this kind of medicine to the
children’s and they don’t know the children’s had other illness feels, will you inject it? Issues
like these are very damaging to the poor Filipino people especially, but if they won’t agree to be
inoculated by the vaccine, it would be clear that they are aware of its danger.

COUNTER ARGUMENTS

“By the post of Melanio Mauricio Jr. in Public President NoyNoy Aquino says ‘sorry I
know nothing about the dengvaxia issues “.

-It should be very clear by now that ‘NoyNoy’ only defense on the controversy
surrounding the Dengvaxia vaccine of Sanafi pharmaceuticals was his “lack of
knowledge” of the dangerous effects of the drug on Filipino children. He said, he did not
know as he lacked knowledge, that Dengvaxia was actually pernicious.

“The part of the dengue virus that they inserted is not able to cause disease on it’s own,
and the part they removed from the yellow fever virus is the part that makes it cause any
disease. In other words the virus in Dengvaxia CANNOT cause dengue yellow or any
other hybrid disease”.
 -They said Dengvaxia CANNOT cause dengue or we say this is not able to cause disease
but Dengue vaccine called Dengvaxia is a found a worsen disease symptoms. I saw a
news in CNN the reports were that the child from Tarlac suffered from dengue since her
first Dengvaxia. So that families claim their children died due to Dengvaxia.

“Key facts: Mexico Government has created history by approving world’s first ever
dengue vaccine branded as Dengvaxia for the public use French pharmaceutical
manufacturer Sonafi has manufactured Dengvaxia to protect people in age groups of 9-45
years old.

-In the Mexico approved that world’s first ever Dengue fever vaccine but in the
Philippines the anti-dengue vaccine Dengvaxia is connected to three death’s in the
country. So the DOH suspended the vaccination program because in Zamboanga City-
two children had died from measles in Zamboanga City in Southern Philippines where
health officials recently declared an outbreak of the disease with nearly 200 cases just this
year. The victims aged 2 years and three months, were all from the Village of Tumaga
and belonged to the poor families. According to Dengvaxia manufacture Sonafi Pasteur
the Dengue vaccine should only be administered to children who already contracted
Dengue aged nine years old and above. At `present government authorities are
investigating the death of 14 children who had been immunized with Dengvaxia.

ARGUMENTS

Despite the lack of complete studies and experiments in the Philippines to assure
Dengvaxia safety and effective nature when administered to Filipino children and despite huge
gaps in scientific knowledge about infections microbes that cause disease, vaccine makers
continue to create vaccines that attempt to outsmart the microbes and typically fail which often
leads to severe consequences like with Dengvaxia.

According to Dengvaxia manufacturer Sonafi Pasteur the Dengue vaccine should only be
administered to children who already contracted Dengue aged nine years old and above. At
present, government authorities are investigating the death of 14 children who had been
immunized with Dengvaxia.

According to President Duterte issues like these are very damaging to poor Filipino
people especially. Yes the government provided free vaccination but it was still peoples money
that was spent for it.

Even departments within the executive branch can’t get their act together. This circus
over the Dengvaxia vaccine is starting to turn into a national embarrassment. President Duterte
should step in and order members of his official family to speak with one voice or at least keep
their disagrrements within the confines of cabinet meetings.

CONCLUSION

Dengvaxia was injected for almost more than half a million of children’s that causes
death. And was tested that it was the main cause of the death of the helpless children’s that also
resulted lot of cares due to the anger and agony of thousands of the parents of the injected
children’s.

Health officials said many mothers had refused government immunization of their
children following the rising facilities of minors who were given anti-dengue vaccine Dengvaxia
across the country.
