Just came across an interesting about vaccine preventable illnesses such as mumps, Rubella etc. All these illnesses which i believed those who are born in singapore would have received a dose or more of the vaccines since young to assist our bodies to develop antibodies against the viruses. According to the article, there seem to have an increasing number of mumps cases occuring in the western countries. I am not so sure what are the figures for the asia region though. So that brings us to the point again. Does vaccines really help to prevent virus attack?

The latest vaccine launched in singapore is for cervix cancer. The age group between 9 years old to 29 years old (or is it 26 years old, cannot remmeber, please go and check it out) would be advised to go for the vaccine. And it was said to be 100 percent prevention. Is this really true? Micro organisms and changes in the genetic makeup of cells evolved at a rapid rate, could be even faster than we could ever imagine. i dun accept the fact that there's a 100 percent foolproof prevention to any diseases. Virus and bacteria are too "smart" and adaptive to mutate into something else and in the process creating another new disease all together. It's kinda sad as we human beings here trying to find ways and means to lengthen our time on earth, the technology improves but at the same time, we are introducing many opportunities for our tiny little "enemies" a platform to become more deadly and fatal to us human beings. That's also why i always admire the microbes and virus , they always amazed me with their strong will for survival and also to accustom to environment at god's know speed. Yes !!!! They were scary but we could not show a sign of fear because our mood would directly affect the patient who would be too anxious waiting for the results these days. Dun u all agree?
