SUBJECT: MMR VACCINATIONS DOES NOT CAUSE AUTISM
In this memo, I have analyzed my writing growth and struggles via IR essay. It is quite unfortunate that misguided scientists have amplified mythologies that mercury or vaccines are linked to autism condition. Consequently, some individuals have fallen into the trap and believe that autism disorder is linked to the vaccines given to kids. There is no proof to associate other vaccines with autism disease. The truth in my opinion is that the connection that exists among autism disorder and the MMR inoculation perseveres in people’s minds regardless of abundant scientific proof to the contrary advances questions on what found evidence, the evidence awareness and communication, and the association between the public and scientists.
In my work, I have elaborated biasness of one article concerning misconception about measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) and its association with mental imbalance. I realized that the article published false information to convince parents not to undertake MMR as well as measles antibodies vaccines. The publication only carried out its research on 12 children, which proved to be irrelevant since this sample cannot give accurate outcomes. For the report to be true, it needed to sample several children from different countries in order to reach at their conclusion. Therefore, through my writing I had managed to persuade parents to be aware of such malicious publications that might create unnecessary fear in them.
My research managed to make good use of logos. One such case was the mention of General medical council that unearth unreliable science behind decisive publication concerning measles-mumps-rubella (MMR). I employed objective evidence strategy to point out to my audiences the unreliable science behind the article as pointed out by General medical council. Second such case was an argument by Gerber and Offit when they unearth irrelevant suggestion for the article concerning concurrent arrangement of a few antibodies debilitates or overpowers the immune system of a child.
In my writings I managed to highlight unsound perceptions concerning early immunizations and destruction of youthful insusceptible construction. From my writing it is evident that a number of reasons have led this unsound perception. However, I managed to provide three realistic reasons why those perceptions are deceiving. This is a form of persuasive writing strategy because some parents might be deceived by articles publishing wrong information on the connection between autism and vaccines. For purposes of shunning fear among these parents, I had to provide elaborations on the decisive nature of these false publications.
My writing incorporated anecdotal evidence fallacy. This fallacy managed to substitute examples provided by false articles. Besides, my argument tried to overlook the opinions provided by false publications, and instead offered scientific facts that were more appealing and true. My rhetorical strategies represent unbiased discussions, which help readers to point out deceiving information. As seen from my arguments, I have managed to point out unreliable science presented by some false publications. Therefore, parents need to be careful when picking pieces of information from published articles. In most cases, information concerning vaccines should only be published by recognized scientific publishing centres and not any other individual because these individuals often give biased information. One of the course learning objectives applied by my writing is location of research sources (including academic journal articles, magazine and newspaper articles) in the library’s databases or archives and on the Internet and evaluate them for credibility, accuracy, timeliness, and bias. I have managed to located sources that highlight unbiasness of some false vaccines publications.
