Vaccines Quotations | Page 2

We gave about 24,000 vaccines last year. It was less than we usually give.

We will take the measures to make sure poor and rich have access to the medications and the vaccines required,

The problem about vaccines in the United States is the system for production and distribution is broken,

The punch line here is that we've probably been delivering vaccines to the wrong place -- the muscle -- for a long time,

Bird flu is something we should be prepared for, but even if a pandemic never happens, everything we learn now from this vaccine can be applied to vaccines for other emerging infectious diseases.

Flu season extends all the way to March or April of next year, ... I would not be comfortable giving any of the vaccines too early because then you have people that won't be protected at the end of flu season.

Far more people quit in the highest dose. It looks like vaccines do have promise in terms of helping people quit smoking.

Every year up to three million children die from diseases that could be prevented by vaccines that are available now or could be in the near future.

Science is publishing this study because it provides information necessary for developing drugs and vaccines that could help prevent another global flu pandemic. We carefully considered the implications of publishing this research and concluded that the knowledge we're gaining to potentially protect public health far outweighs the risk of working with this virus.

Novel technologies for delivering ... vaccines can certainly find a market if they are more effective, less costly, less invasive or more convenient to use than the alternatives.

As other players have moved out of the vaccines business, it has become more interesting for others to go in. The manufacturers that are left gain a lot of pricing power, and interest has also risen in the face of pandemic risks.

This is the first human cancer vaccine study to see T-cell responses in the absence of B-cells. This paves the way to use vaccines in a number of hematological cancers that are treated by eliminating diseased B-cells.

The vaccines have undergone pre-clinical tests ... and I hope they will be completed in three to four months.

The vaccines business is a key growth driver.

This paves the way to use vaccines in a number of hematological cancers that are treated by eliminating diseased B cells.

It's keeping your children healthy. We don't see many of these diseases anymore because vaccines have eradicated them from our lifestyle.

Does mercury in vaccines cause autism in children? A definitive answer has proven elusive, and it remains so to this day. No one can say with certainty that thimerosal ... helped fuel an explosion in reported cases of autism, ADD, speech delay and other disorders over the past decade. But no one can say for certain that it did not.

That is simply not true. America's pharmaceutical research companies are firmly committed to HIV/AIDS vaccine research and development with 15 potential vaccines in development today.

It takes a little over a month for us to develop a recombinant vector vaccine compared to a minimum of several months via traditional methods. This capacity will be particularly invaluable if the virus begins to mutate rapidly, a phenomenon that often limits the ability of traditional vaccines to contain outbreaks of mutant strains.

These vaccines hold promise. But before we go ahead with a recommendation for global vaccination, we will first need to know how well these vaccines work in developing parts of the world.

Evidence of Harm, Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy.

In the past, vaccination programs were cost-saving and life-saving. However, newer vaccines are now focused on reducing morbidity, rather than mortality, and we need to carefully weigh the risks and benefits of vaccination. By balancing the costs of a vaccination program and the potential impact of alternative vaccine policies on reducing disease morbidity and improving quality of life, we can optimize decision making regarding vaccine use in the US.

By last Wednesday 4.75 billion vaccines had been used throughout the country, and poultry in most regions are expected to have been vaccinated by the end of this month.

Clearly, both are needed. But if we're not getting the basic vaccines we already have today out to these kids who need them, how well are we going to do with expanding access to new vaccines?

But if we had a pandemic, the problem would be that our existing vaccines don't work against it, we would have to develop a new vaccine, and people don't have natural immunity because it hasn't be around before.

But if (nursing homes) don't have vaccines by the end of the month, they will probably start making more fervent pleas.

Because of experiences in the past we really don't make firm plans until we have adequate supply. Every single year there is this waiting to actually have the vaccines in hand.

By protecting personal and public health, they are vaccines at their best.

150 people die every year from being hit by falling coconuts. Not to worry, drug makers are developing a vaccine.

When we seed millions of acres of land with these plants, what happens to foraging birds, to insects, to microbes, to the other animals, when they come in contact and digest plants that are producing materials ranging from plastics to vaccines to pharmaceutical products?

Let me see if I can put this in scientific terms: Think of autism like a fart, and vaccines are the finger you pull to make it happen.

Following bio-medical treatment - which is basically changing the diet, giving vitamins and supplements and detoxing the body from metals or candida - and he recovered. And the reason the medical community has such a hard time with this is because we are treating and healing a vaccine injury ... this is truly a revolution.

Instead of the Government spending $400,000 on immunisation, we may get far better health outcomes if we spend $100,000 in some other way, on nutrition for example...When you have an expenditure on getting your community healthier, then the resistance to many childhood diseases is stronger.

You can't save kids just with vaccines.

Vaccines are a miracle cure. Eight out of 10 children are getting vaccines.

I've heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines,

The best vaccine imaginable is only valuable to the extent we get it to everyone who needs it.

I was pretty dorky, but there are tiers of dorkdom and I always had friends, though they were equally dorky. I was one of those kids who contracted cooties in the second grade and then had cooties, because there wasn't a vaccine for it. When I was around people, though, I generally wanted to make them laugh. I told a lot of stories.

There are always potential side effects for every vaccine.

Scientific literacy is an intellectual vaccine against the claims of charlatans who would exploit ignorance.

Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance.

The President has once again failed us. Millions of Americans are at risk of going without the flu vaccine this year because the administration failed to act proactively to ensure an adequate supply. There is simply no excuse for this.

The health budget is 1.06 billion rupees (23 million dollars) while vaccines would have cost the state over three billion rupees.

The Hepatitis B vaccine is now given to newborns. We sometimes give five and six vaccines all at one time.

When my father died of AIDS, I knew I had to do everything in my power to prevent others from going through what he endured. I support AmFAR which provides funds for cutting edge AIDS research so we can find a vaccine and a cure.

And if avian flu develops into a pandemic human strain - as many experts fear it may - the vaccine might complement traditional vaccines and be used to protect people.

The jewels are the vaccines business and blood testing. There's nothing about Chiron that makes you say 'wow, we need to buy this for the pipeline.' The portfolio is rather lackluster compared to other biotechnology companies.

I came away from the talk with the perception that the risk of adverse side effects is so much greater than the risk of cervical cancer, I couldn’t help but question why we need the vaccine at all.

I can see no hope at present of such a vaccine being produced... I have adopted a frankly defeatist attitude towards the problem of poliomyelitis and I hope that future developments will prove me wrong... No means of controlling poliomyelitis is at present visible.

The pharmaceutical corporations are engaged in the systematic corruption of the medical profession, country by country

There's no 'dumb-ass' vaccine.

The real heroes anyway aren't the people doing things; the real heroes are the people NOTICING things, paying attention. The guy who invented the smallpox vaccine didn't actually invent anything. He just noticed that people with cowpox didn't get smallpox.

When I worked on the polio vaccine, I had a theory. I guided each [experiment] by imagining myself in the phenomenon in which I was interested. The intuitive realm . . . the realm of the imagination guides my thinking.

[Who owns the patent on this vaccine?] Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?

Reply when questioned on the safety of the polio vaccine he developed: It is safe, and you can't get safer than safe.

Italy is divided between us and them, rich and poor, north and south, young and old, employed and unemployed.

As a global community, we must ensure that legitimate concerns about liability do not hold back the possibility of developing an Ebola vaccine, an essential strategy in our global response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.

In view of the epidemiological situation in Germany, the lack of evidence for the effectiveness of the BCG-vaccine and the not uncommen severe, undesired side-effects of the BCG vaccine, the STIKO can no longer support the recommendation for this vaccination.

Vaccines are the tugboats of preventive health.

I am a huge believer in the flu vaccine. I have had it every year and have never had the flu.

Art is the suitcase of history, carrying the essentials. Art is the life buoy of history. Art is seed, art is memory, art is vaccine.

I don't think I would have spent time learning about the immune system if understanding vaccines weren't something I considered very important.

Vaccination is pretty special because you can do a vaccination campaign anywhere in the world. All you are doing is gathering women from the villages, getting them the vaccines and asking them to go around and find the children.

We believe unbelievable progress can be made, in both inventing new vaccines and making sure they get out to all the children who need them.

I admire leaders in science, people who really figure things out like Richard Fineman or people who work on vaccines, tons of people working on [the] HIV vaccine. There's leaders in business, people like Warren Buffett, who've got a certain approach they take that are pretty amazing. There [are] product innovators like Steve Jobs was, where he gets behind a concept and does a fantastic job.

At some point, that risk-taking private capital can take over, and have patents and trade secrets and things that let them lead the way, which happened with the steam engine and some other things, although with energy, the time of adoption is a lot longer than it is with, say, IT products or even medical advances, like drugs and vaccines.

The world today has 6.8 billion people...that's headed up to about 9 billion. If we do a really great job on vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 to 15 percent.

In poor countries, we still need better ways to measure the effectiveness of the many government workers providing health services. They are the crucial link bringing tools such as vaccines and education to the people who need them most. How well trained are they? Are they showing up to work?

By desiring little, a poor man makes himself rich.

Avoid popularity if you would have peace.

There is no vaccine against stupidity.

Biology has improved, so the chance of having new medicines and vaccines are stronger today than ever,

As well consult a butcher on the value of vegetarianism as a doctor on the worth of vaccination.

The evidence for indicting immunisations for SIDS is circumstantial, but compelling. However, the keepers of the keys to medical-research funds are not interested in researching this very important lead to the cause of an ongoing, and possibly preventable, tragedy. Anything that implies that immunisations are not the greatest medical advance in the history of public health is ignored or ridiculed. Can you imagine the economic and political import of discovering that immunisations are killing thousands of babies?

Smallpox is natural; vaccine ain't.
