The story of Julia Samoilova caused a new round of vaccination controversy on social networks

The more popular the person, the more peopletry to copy his style, his habits, follow his example in many things. Now the wave of popularity has fallen on Yulia Samoilova, the girl who ". Most argue about how ethically it is to send a disabled person to a brutal, politicized competition. But there are a lot of those who look at the singer’s disability from the other side, trying it on herself and her own children. As Julia herself told in an interview three years ago on the “Factor A” program, her disability was the result of a polio vaccine. I developed normally, like all children, ”said Julia. “But then I was vaccinated.” It seems polio. And I stopped getting up. Doctors began to treat, something was pricked, but nothing helped. ”Photo: PhotoExpress.enWhen Julia turned 13, she was diagnosed with Verdnig-Hoffman's spinal muscular atrophy. On the network, these words caused a serious resonance. “Look at the reaction of Alla Borisovna at the girl’s words about the causes of disability. In the same way, impressionable moms of babies, who are scheduled for vaccination on the national calendar, will react. It is a pity for our local pediatricians, because after 2 months a real anti-vaccination boom will begin across the country, when the “effects” of vaccination will be shown on TV screens as part of a popular entertainment show. Thus, the media formed the image of a disabled singer, whose health was ruined by domestic medicine, "wrote the doctor under the nickname Graal2005 on a popular Internet forum. In the LiveJournal, discussion of the diagnosis of Yulina also boils." Why life and children's health? I do not understand why it is necessary to voluntarily participate in mass experiments, a sort of Russian roulette, lucky or unlucky? And why, most importantly, people who silently experiment on millions of children consider this experimentation to be such an ordinary tribute to progress, "writes a blogger who lives in Egypt." I just wrote about vaccination refusals and that's it, "she echoed in the comments However, there are people who have reasonable objections to a general hysteria. “Spinal muscular atrophy is a hereditary disease that has nothing to do with vaccinations. In order for it to develop, it is necessary that two mutant genes from the mother and from the father coincide, - doctors write on the forums, defending science. - Competent persons from the Foundation of spinal muscular atrophy reported that there is no relationship. The coincidences are caused only by the age at which, as a rule, the beginning of the MCA and the schedule of vaccinations are observed. There are a lot of SMA-children who did not receive any vaccinations at all. ” "Coincidence? I do not believe in such coincidences! ”- opponents of vaccination parry. However, the remark is similar to the standard lunge from the repertoire of conspiracy theorists. Practically none of the anti-vaccinations did not have such acquaintances whose children or they themselves would get sick after vaccinations. All the arguments boiled down to “one of my friends wrote on the forum.” “My brother refused to give his daughter vaccinations. As a result, a girl at four years old has measles! And the doctors did not even immediately understand what it was. The disease is considered long-lived, ”such voices of reason sink into the friendly choir of opponents of collective immunity. Doctors remind: there is not a single study that confirms the link between vaccines and diseases that they allegedly provoke. But the anti-vaccines claim that it is vaccination that provokes autism, SMA, even cancer. Can vaccinations harm health? Never deny the obvious! For example, vaccine-associated poliomyelitis (VAP) is a complication of polio vaccinations. In the event that the first vaccination is carried out with an oral (live) polio vaccine, a child with primary immunodeficiency (and not all vaccinated!) Can develop VAP. That is why in our country the first two vaccinations against poliomyelitis in children are made inactivated (non-living) vaccine, reducing the risk of developing VAP to zero, - says Natalya Tkachenko, a vaccine immunologist, Ph.D.Photo: PhotoExpress.enAlthough it is always necessary to pay attention to how the child feels when you take him to the vaccine. - Modern vaccines do not cause complications that many parents are so afraid of. In order to avoid negative consequences, it is enough to observe one rule: a child must be completely healthy before vaccination. And not two or three days before the procedure, but within two weeks preceding the trip to the hospital. Of particular importance is the vaccination of children suffering from chronic diseases. Such babies need to be vaccinated necessarily, but according to an individual schedule, which avoids complications, - reminds Larisa Makarova, pediatrician, head of the rehabilitation department of the children's infectious diseases hospital.
