"She wondered 'have I given this one its sleeping sickness injection, or haven't I?'...Twenty-two years, eight months later, and four days from that moment, a promising young Alpha-Minus administrator at MwanzaMwanza was to die of trypanosomiasis--the first case for over half a century." (Huxley 171)
We see that Lenina did not put a vaccine for trypanosomiasis and because of this it was the first case of death in twenty-two years. The Brave New Worlds emphasis on vaccines is present in this example and shows that through the repeated use of them through all of the countless generations that their bodies are no longer able to adapt to these viruses or diseases because they just give them vaccines to make sure they don't have to worry about it.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated that 732,000 American children were saved from death and 322 million cases of childhood illnesses were prevented between 1994 and 2014 due to vaccination. Vaccines can benefit and save peoples lives but sometimes at a cost. Vaccines contain very harmful substances like aluminum that causes neurological damage. The government requires schools to have kids vaccinated which some people highly disagree with. The intervention was designed to involve parents and respect where they were coming from, respect that they wanted what was best for their child and the provider wanted that, too," said the study's lead author, Nora Henrikson, a research associate with the institute. The goal, she said, was to help doctors address parents' concerns but "still make a strong recommendation for vaccines."
