As a nursing student I think this is a great explanation of the use of vaccines. The one thing I would change is the blood dripping from the arms after injection. This does not happen post vaccination (maybe a tiny drop does) but for those afraid to vaccinate it may be one more reason not to. I would have used this video as a referenced piece of educational material for a health fair but the blood may cause more fear, especially for younger individuals.
Tell me, do the boosters hurt because last time I was injected was with a local anaesthetic in the foot and it was 'the most painful experience of my life' Of 15 years. And if your making stuff up il will pull the trigger. *points gun*

You left out passive vaccines, Passive Vaccines are Vaccines that contain an already produced antibody against a certain antigen, therefore they are not as good over time and need to get refreshed often but are excellent for patients with weakened immune systems like babies, old people, AIDS patients etc.
@@donny234 it's natural to be sick either you are vaccinated or not, it's just that vaccinated people don't die from preventable disease unlike the unvacinnated ones
That’s an extreme statement. At a high level Exposing yourself to any virus has the same affect as a getting a vaccine. The underlying factor in how your immune system responds to the exposure is a direct correlation to your overall metabolic health. What’s the biggest difference? You don’t know what is in a vaccine and how your body will respond. However, you have control over your lifestyle and the impact it has on your health. You can’t put people in masks for a year and expect their immune systems to remain strong.
Vaccines can be controversial for many reasons, and this video talking about how they actually work brings up an idea that is not talked about as often. Because of how vaccines work, people sometimes view them as counterintuitive. Because vaccines work by injecting a person with a small amount of the disease, or diseases, they are being protected against, people question how it works. When people are injected with the vaccine, it is common to experience side effects such as coughing, sneezing, inflammation, and fever. These symptoms, which are most commonly associated with becoming sick, sometimes make people feel like the vaccine is doing the opposite of what it is supposed to be doing. They go in trying to protect their kid from getting sick, so they often wonder why their kid starts to show signs of developing a cold or flu. These symptoms can easily be explained by what they are doing. They are working to trap things like bacteria and get rid of them from the body. After that, adaptive immunity kicks in and programs the body to get rid of these types of bacteria if they are introduced to the body in the future. Though the process and symptoms may seem harmful to parents, they are actually helping the child. When children are vaccinated against diseases, they have the opportunity to live a healthier life.
Louise Larsson Well let's hit your two points then, huh? 1) On the poisons and such. Which specifically? For example, if you worried about mercury being in your vaccine, let's explain why it used to be in there. While some forms of Mercury are VERY toxic (like those fish contaminated with it that you can't catch and then eat) other kinds don't harm the human body in small doses. The kind that used to be in vaccines was that safe kind, obviously. (Feel free to look this up yourself as well if you'd like the actual names of those specific compounds). 2) Lowering IQ and making people sick. Well, for one, IQ changes over your life anyway, due to age and other variables. But in relation to vaccines, there is no proof that vaccines would cause one's IQ to lower. One case you might be thinking of is vaccines causing autism perhaps? That isn't vaccines actually. The reason this is a popular thought is because a scientist once published a study in a well-known high-quality science journal that claimed this and demanded more research. In reality, his study was the problem. He only studied 12 patients and didn't look at all of the variables. Many scientists showed this and retracted the paper from the journal, but it was too late. The public already believed the lie. (I also believe the original scientist later retracted his own statements but I could be wrong on that). As for nowadays when people claim their child got autism after vaccines, that is only an anecdote, not data. You think parents are going to account for every variable? Or that the kid will instantly show they have autism as soon as they're born? So there's no need to worry, every good scientific study on vaccines hasn't found anything problematic. As for getting sick afterwards, same story, although in some cases people can get light flu symptoms and such for a day or two as their immune system learns what to do.
Why is it the effectiveness of the flu vaccine last year was 10%. Why does the US and Canada have more sick people, physical and mental, than ever. If you take the vaccines than are not you protected from diseases. A ruling recently concluded a young girl health was damaged by a vaccine. A senior former cdc person exposed they were hiding the real data about vaccines.
He took the idea from somewhere else, he created vaccines but the concept of exposing someone to make them resistant to certain diseases has been around for hundreds of years before jenner
In Arg they ARE mandatory. And the antivaxxer movement is slowly growing here anyway. It's crazy. Does every generation need a terrible reminder of the importance of vaccines? Please!
Exactly! Obviously we can't give it to some people (certain auto immune diseases and all that jazz) but the whole reason vaccines work so well now is because of herd immunity!
Vaccines do cause severe side-effects, the thing is, THAT IS VERY VERY RARE, so it is worth taking the risk. Imagine you have to undergo a medical procedure to remove a tumor from your body, YES THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED, but people usually take the risk! The thing with vaccines is, the risk is extremely low.
2021: When people say the COVID-19 vaccine was rushed. But this video was made in 2015 stating that the techniques used in the COVID vaccines have been in practice/research/development for many years. That helped for quicker response to a vaccine.
Then why do we need to take 2 and potentially even more doses of the “vaccine”? If they’re mRNA vaccines shouldn’t the body be able to respond to it after the first dose and recognize it at its most basic level?
@@TheOneShotWunda you should watch kurzgezagt's video on the immune systen, about 5 minutes in should be a bit more useful. Basically, your system needs to learn about it so a single shot might not be enough for any useful, long term protection. So with the tests and research the companies decided 2 should be enough and only Jansen / Johnson and Johnson in the USA had one that's good after one.
On the topic of themerisol, it is no more mercury than water is hydrogen. The chemical formula for themerisol is C9H9HgNaO2S. It is a compound molecule that contains Mercury in its build-up. Anyone who knows anything about chemistry (which it seems most anti-vaccine proponent do not) understand that a compound containing an element generally has vastly different chemical properties than its individual elements. For example, Hydrogen being a flammable gas and oxygen being a relatively inert liquid.
+Arash-Hijun Ihmeki What you say is true. But perhaps not the whole truth. A question remains on how the body re-alters this molecule so excretion through the kidneys is possible. As far as I know there is no mechanism in our bodies to remove heavy metals like lead and mercury. Is there some literature that you have read that suggests otherwise?

@@habaulch yare yare. I understand if someone’s like allergic or it’s just a rare side effect but just because someone gets a rare side effect doesn’t mean that everyone gets it. I wouldn’t be surprised if you think that you can get cancer by eating food that is too warm.
Now I know it's an animated example, BUT at 0:29 when the little boy felt super relieved he was cured from the disease and they both were thrilled... that hit me where it hurt! 😭
My nursing and allied health students, who are learning about vaccines via distance learning in my online virtual classroom, are very grateful for this fantastic video. Well done, TedEd! Also.... VACCINATE YOUR KIDS, PEOPLE! Nurse TCI says so.
I remember reading a health book for kids that used visual metaphors to explain how bodily systems work. They were pretty good, too. To explain vaccines, they represented the immune system as soldiers protecting the body, pathogens as invading soldiers, and vaccines as weakened enemy soldiers sent in to let the defending soldiers train in how to fight them. I've always been fascinated by how literal this metaphor actually is.
An excellent explanation, naturally! I THINK there may be a misleading animation at 3:20 - when a vaccine is given, the video shows bumps going down. As I understand it, that’s what (e.g.) an antiviral does - a vaccine teaches the immune system what viruses to look out for in the future. (But I’m just a kids science teacher.)
Glad you got vaccinated. Listen to the people in charge than some random internet people. They usually don't understand anything, and Ted Ed always knows what they're talking about. (This reply isn't sarcasm.)
@@therealeikichionizuka tbh its understandable, due to the missinformation regarding the vaccine, the poor management on making studies on it, and the documentary "plandemic" people began to be skeptical on the vaccine, specially since you have to take a couple of them just to fight 1 disease, and also due to the fact that the media didnt discuss the possibility of it Leaking from a LAB that studied types of corona viruses in Wu Han and just focused in the market theory, but sometimes i feel they are too supersticious on it, at least people know the vaccine isnt made nor is it supposed to harm them but the disease
@@cefu8492 definitely. I just say listen to your government. Even if they do s***y things, at the end of the day, they’re still here to protect you. I really don’t like to get vaccines, but they help you, you need to take them, and they’ve saved more lives than any of us can imagine. I honestly just think people wanna be rebels, but it would probably be better for them to TP a house if they wanna be “cool lawbreakers.”
The video could be much more cinematic and enjoyable if the author included the sound effects for little things such as colliding balls(1:58) or the sound of injection (0:26). Despite that, the video is really interesting and worth watching!
I really really really appreciate your work. You have to know that you are unique and you should be proud of your work.also lucky to have good team work together to accomplish this great thing you do
Gee it's funny then how the human species survived and thrived for millions of years before vaccines were even invented. Due to a little thing called the immune system. Responsible for natural immunity/herd immunity. Oh ...oops!
That means the vaccine you took has a weakend version of the substance If your having a fever that means the immune system is busy taking care of it So nothing big is happening
A lot of videos are debunking antivaxxers. And yes, that is necessary, but I like how Ted Ed chose to take a different approach to the issue and explain how it works.
Its a different type of vaccine, mRNA vaccines use mRNA as a blueprint for a protein that fights Covid. It enters cells, goes to the ribosomes inside your cells, and instructs ribosomes to make those specific proteins, then is destroyed by the cell
I searched "How do vaccines work?" with the expectation that Ted-Ed would have made an aesthetically pleasing yet educational video about the workings of vaccines in the human body. I was not disappointed.
Nice, got 6 family members, a few got their second. You'll be fine after a lil illness max and a sore arm. Thank you for actually looking up how they work, some ppl get crazy🙏
Have fun exposing yourself to certain evolved version of the virus, now that your body has spent all of its energy fighting against it, let's see how you'll handle separate evolved one
@@river7591 oh man, I got the biggest headache and soreness for 2 days but had to work on the 1st 💀 lil bit of nausea and my cold found my immune system busy with other things, great fun
Alex T Poison? Have you ever heard/seen someone suffer from that “poison”? It’s not the materials that’d make the substance poisonous, it’s the dose. And that “poison” saved millions of lives. The only way a vaccine can cause a damage to a person is if the person is allergic to vaccines, that’s why they should be surrounded by people that have been vaccinated. If people are vaccinated, than the disease won’t be able to spread. These diseases are contagious, dangerous and even deadly. There’s no reason to be not vaccinated (unless if you’re too old/young/allergic)
*Anti-vaxxers be like:* Nah it doesn’t work. Our essential oils, healing crystals and natural immune system will do the job! *Later:* *Anti vaxxer dies from weak diseases** *Everyone:* Anti vaxxer problem can dissolve it self soon
@Caelen Barrett well nature isn't exactly nice either, if you can't get through their thick skulls how to even survive, then they might as well just die
6 years later(through consistent research and technology advancement) COVID-19 vaccine was developed in just 11 months. But of course with the help of all the countries around the world who funded the vaccine research.
Samuel Johnston Yeah, I wish there were more laws too. I get people getting passes or having different kinds if they have auto immune diseases and all that, but someone shouldn't put us all in danger because they're scared or of "religion". (Like man I'm Christian and have vaccines?? There's literally no religious reason for it)
Strawberry Cupcake old comment but in the Jehovah’s witness group it is against the religion to have vaccinations or blood transfusions or organ transplants.
Its weird how the people claiming that covid is a conspiracy are actually making a conspiracy themselves by all the lying and cheating and confirmation bias... Literally, anti vax choose not to look at the many people who are fine after the vaccine and look at the one person whose heart has exploded. Similar with covid. Ignoring the deaths, and focusing on people who have survived.
This didn't age as well. although we have made huge improvements there is always that one group, and in this case it's a very big one(the Facebook moms) that claim that there are micro bots in them so that the government can control us.

+Rachel the gosh-darn human Edward Jenner infected him with cowpox and *then* with smallpox just to see if the vaccine works. :/

I remember reading a health book for kids that used visual metaphors to explain how bodily systems work. They were pretty good, too. To explain vaccines, they represented the immune system as soldiers protecting the body, pathogens as invading soldiers, and vaccines as weakened enemy soldiers sent in to let the defending soldiers train in how to fight them. I've always been fascinated by how literal this metaphor actually is.
Thank God I found this, i needed briefly explained easy to understand lesson about vaccines
An excellent explanation, naturally! I THINK there may be a misleading animation at 3:20 - when a vaccine is given, the video shows bumps going down. As I understand it, that’s what (e.g.) an antiviral does - a vaccine teaches the immune system what viruses to look out for in the future. (But I’m just a kids science teacher.)

Some vaccines are given to someone already infected with a disease in order to speed up the development of adaptive immunity.
This video was released 6 years before pandemic and still it is useful 😀
I got an anti-vaccine commercial before this .-.
Hah
How ironic!
ha
They shouldn't even be making those, they are putting many people in danger...
@@firebow2810 maybe you can leave your blind Vaccine religion for a little bit and try to learn something?
Ok I’m thankful for this video, I was scared to get the covid vaccine because of the rumors but I get it now
Glad you got vaccinated. Listen to the people in charge than some random internet people. They usually don't understand anything, and Ted Ed always knows what they're talking about. (This reply isn't sarcasm.)
@@therealeikichionizuka tbh its understandable, due to the missinformation regarding the vaccine, the poor management on making studies on it, and the documentary "plandemic" people began to be skeptical on the vaccine, specially since you have to take a couple of them just to fight 1 disease, and also due to the fact that the media didnt discuss the possibility of it Leaking from a LAB that studied types of corona viruses in Wu Han and just focused in the market theory, but sometimes i feel they are too supersticious on it, at least people know the vaccine isnt made nor is it supposed to harm them but the disease
@@cefu8492 definitely. I just say listen to your government. Even if they do s***y things, at the end of the day, they’re still here to protect you. I really don’t like to get vaccines, but they help you, you need to take them, and they’ve saved more lives than any of us can imagine. I honestly just think people wanna be rebels, but it would probably be better for them to TP a house if they wanna be “cool lawbreakers.”
I've learnt to trust the government in regards of health, they might say weird things sometimes but it's clear they dont want their country to die :)
@@xyla3824 as bad as the gomerment can be sometimes, no government wants all of it's people to die off. then they wouldn't have power.

This animation of an injection is what creates peoples fear of needles
person: makes video abt science
science teachers: it’s free real estate
The video could be much more cinematic and enjoyable if the author included the sound effects for little things such as colliding balls(1:58) or the sound of injection (0:26). Despite that, the video is really interesting and worth watching!
Comment section:
70% People talking about anti-vaxxers

No the 70% is overused antivaxxer jokes like "anti vaxxers never get old, just like their children"
Whats your margin of error?
the math is correct, but are the ratios correct? (it would be sus if they were...)
I really really really appreciate your work. You have to know that you are unique and you should be proud of your work.also
lucky to have good team work together to accomplish this great thing you do
This was very informative, especially during this time! Thanks :)
OMG, i felt so bad when the old person died.
I try to explain it to anti vaxxers and they just say “I don’t believe that” it’s like playing chess with pigeons.
Oceanti so true lol
that is a horrible insult...
to the pigeons.
They're doltish followers who don't do the research and voids themselves 🧠 into "rabbit holes"..
Gee it's funny then how the human species survived and thrived for millions of years before vaccines were even invented.
Due to a little thing called the immune system. Responsible for natural immunity/herd immunity.
Oh ...oops!

I got my flu vaccin and started feeling sick and wanted to know why. This is really cool.
Flu vaccines don't always work like other vaccines, I can't remember the reason tho sorry.
@@Epsy1090 viruses causes flu and viruses always change their DNA so you must vaccine every year for flu
If you had a vaccine and you get mild fever or headache or inflammation.
That's a sign that the vaccine works
Might be mild side effects, nothing bad
That means the vaccine you took has a weakend version of the substance
If your having a fever that means the immune system is busy taking care of it
So nothing big is happening
Ha if you only knew how effective vaccines really are. The mom kissing her son made me want to cry. she can kiss her son again

Well, what do you know, after 6 years this would be really helpful in understanding the vaccine.
Its a different type of vaccine, mRNA vaccines use mRNA as a blueprint for a protein that fights Covid. It enters cells, goes to the ribosomes inside your cells, and instructs ribosomes to make those specific proteins, then is destroyed by the cell
@@atlas2296 It’s still in trial till 2023
@@bigoof8559 Which means what exactly?

*anti vaxxers left the chat*
Nope. Still here. 😆 Enjoy your poison!
No! We have not left this chat!
lmao some antivaxxers dont get jokes as well? Were those created by the government, too?
Alex T Poison? Have you ever heard/seen someone suffer from that “poison”? It’s not the materials that’d make the substance poisonous, it’s the dose. And that “poison” saved millions of lives. The only way a vaccine can cause a damage to a person is if the person is allergic to vaccines, that’s why they should be surrounded by people that have been vaccinated. If people are vaccinated, than the disease won’t be able to spread. These diseases are contagious, dangerous and even deadly. There’s no reason to be not vaccinated (unless if you’re too old/young/allergic)
*Because they died*
*Anti-vaxxers be like:*
Nah it doesn’t work. Our essential oils, healing crystals and natural immune system will do the job!
*Later:*
*Anti vaxxer dies from weak diseases**
*Everyone:* Anti vaxxer problem can dissolve it self soon

I’m already getting the sniffles guys I think the measles virus evolved
same here broski
6 years later(through consistent research and technology advancement) COVID-19 vaccine was developed in just 11 months.
But of course with the help of all the countries around the world who funded the vaccine research.
Plus, they already had vaccines against related diseases like SARS, which helps.
Edward Jenner : injected vaccines
Kylie Jenner : injected fillers
Vaccination works and has no major side effects to most people. Vaccination should be the law an you can't change my mind.
Samuel Johnston Yeah, I wish there were more laws too. I get people getting passes or having different kinds if they have auto immune diseases and all that, but someone shouldn't put us all in danger because they're scared or of "religion". (Like man I'm Christian and have vaccines?? There's literally no religious reason for it)
Strawberry Cupcake old comment but in the Jehovah’s witness group it is against the religion to have vaccinations or blood transfusions or organ transplants.
In my country (Poland) vaccines are mandatory
Strawberry Cupcake Jewish people in New York have caused almost all of the states out breaks
Armiesflamefirecamco they can have vaccines

i miss the good times of before 2020 when being antivax was shunned upon
ik bro, literally all my friends and i made fun of them all the time, and now some of my right leaning friends aren't vaccinated and I'm like bruh....
Its weird how the people claiming that covid is a conspiracy are actually making a conspiracy themselves by all the lying and cheating and confirmation bias...
Literally, anti vax choose not to look at the many people who are fine after the vaccine and look at the one person whose heart has exploded.
Similar with covid. Ignoring the deaths, and focusing on people who have survived.
This aged very well! So happy to see that advances in DNA vaccines (or more specifically, mRNA vaccines) have helped us at least tame COVID
This didn't age as well. although we have made huge improvements there is always that one group, and in this case it's a very big one(the Facebook moms) that claim that there are micro bots in them so that the government can control us.
