how good afternoon

well I ‘m going to talk about vaccines and

maybe vaccines is good but if you already

we know almost all vaccines not good

We know that vaccines protect us from

infections we know what infections

for example they cause the viruses that are the

true biological machines

fascinating what causes diseases

that causes deaths but good and I

vaccine for small therefore already

be protected, you do not need more

Well, I wanted to convey the idea of

that vaccines not only protect us

each one of us but also

has a solidarity aspect of

protect the rest of the people’s

the vaccines or medications therefore

they are medicines are products that

are controlled that have passed the

safety efficacy tests on

everything and that as they have parts of these

microbes that cause infections

they are able to stimulate our

immune system to teach you to

defend ourselves from infections and so

both protect us from

that we pass these diseases the

better vaccines however are those

that not only protect us

themselves but they prevent these agents

infectious diseases are transmitted to other

people who circulate the population the

infectious agent

so that these types of vaccines are

those that can eradicate diseases

of the world because we need vaccines

the perception is that we live in a

very healthy system that really

We get sick with a cold but not

many things happen to us

well actually although we are not

conscious we are surrounded by agents

harmful bunch of microorganisms that

they can cause us many diseases

what happens is that our system

immune is continuously

working is working when we go

to a work meeting is

working when we sleep is

working especially when we

we ride on the subway or the bus is worth

is working continuously I never know

you can stop working just like

our brain does not disconnect either and

what he is doing is continuously

in the barriers of our organism that

are the skin and mucous membranes until it

breaks are not damaged by an infection

is preventing these agents

harmful in train

that’s how they protect us but

how they also protect the population

that is to say the vaccines not only we

grant immunity to us

themselves but there is also a

collective immunity

how that works because it works

way that if in a population there is a

high percentage of vaccinated people

with for example the measles vaccine

those that are in yellow

in this graph although there are some that

they could not be vaccinated in blue

if people get infected with this

organism in this microorganism with the

measles those that are in red

if the majority are vaccinated it is very

likely that the virus can be

transmit therefore they are

saving these people who are not

vaccinated who are in blue

this is the collective immunity that in the

Hump transmission agent

infectious and who are these people

that are not vaccinated because they are the

most vulnerable people in society

it’s the children who are very small and

They not yet have been able to vaccinate are

children under five are

children and adults who have diseases

serious who have an immune system

with flaws that have one another

diseases that have cancer that have

been received a transplant

in this way with immunity

collective we are protecting the most

vulnerable who could not be vaccinated

how our system works

immune that has been done is

running continuously because

have memory

just as we remember the events

that have happened before our system

immune has memory and that’s what

we now know with molecular mechanisms

cells but this was already known from

long ago and sure you know

you are many diseases

infectious that we only had one

time

I already had chickenpox, I did not go back to

catch chickenpox good because thanks to

that this works well we can teach

to our immune system with a

vaccine that is safe and safe

effective so that when the

true infection

the second time our system

immune to meet with with the

true microbe and not with a part

of the microbe will react much more

strong much faster and the second

characteristic that is very important to

our immune system and that

we explode with vaccines is that is

able to recognize everything that is

finds strange while all

the cells of our heart are very

similar beats every cell of our

the immune system every lymphocyte is

different from all the others is different

genetically every lymphocyte of our

organism recognizes something different so

we can both teach a batch of

lymphocytes that recognizes the virus the

measles another batch that recognizes the

influenza virus and in this way

will learn to have a memory

immune to these

infections

Vaccines are one of the best of

the greatest achievements in public health of

humanity you will know euro the

history smallpox smallpox was the

first vaccine was the first disease

in front of which a

vaccine was developed using the virus of

the cows the word vaccine comes

200 years ago the vaccine was discovered

very few years later he the

Spanish empire took advantage of these

knowledge immediately and

distributed the vaccine throughout

Spanish empire throughout South America to

North America Central America even

to the Philippines and more important

he still left the knowledge of how

vaccinate and left there the vaccine

so that it was possible to vaccinate a part

important that of the population attenuating

very much the incidence of smallpox

that we had accidentally taken

previously during the expansion

Spanish for America and in 1979

after an important campaign of

coordinated worldwide vaccination

by the world health organization

smallpox was planted the face of the

land there are no cases of smallpox in the

world

they disappeared continuously however

50 years ago

shortly before the eradication still

killed two million people in a

year two million people

as if in a year die all

population of valencia seville and bilbao

together is very much 2 million in a

year did not happen in Spain because in

Spain by then I was

eradicated in the 20th century when

they were all this campaign of

vaccination and eradicated killed

It is estimated that between 300 and 500 million

of people that is the population of the

European Union a burrada and left

blind to many people

luckily this is already the past no longer

there pox in the world is

eradicated the elderly are vaccinated

the little ones you do not need there is no

need the vaccine because there is no

disease

what is the near future the future

close is polio vaccination the

polio is a disease that causes a

muscle paralysis and in the case of this

child that is listed here is one of the

lower limbs of the legs and you

prohibits and hinders a lot of walking

but there are times that cause paralysis of

the muscles of breathing and by

Of course the consequences are fatal

polio the vaccine was discovered in the

Fifty years is caused by three

virus one we have already eradicated

from the face of the earth two years ago and

It is about to eradicate know if you

you look at the numbers in the year in the

year in 2017 have only been

detected eleven cases of polio throughout the

world

compared to last year we hope

make it like the third part that the

last year we are about to see this

future that the second

disease from the face of the earth

both with a vaccine is located in

a very specific area on the border

between pakistan and afghanistan

what would be the third objective which is

the desirable future that we continue to eradicate

the infection is what is the next

probable is the champion is broad it

has an attenuated vaccine from the

60’s measles seems like it’s a

reasonably benign disease but

It is not like this

with this vaccine has been eradicated

already of the americas measles but without

However, this disease apparently

no cause 135 thousand deaths per year in

the year 2015 135,000 children

that die of measles and so that you

get an idea of this number

imagine that you have a plane of

the great plains of children crashes

all children are killed

well this is every day of the year all

the days of the year

if this were happening we would be

scared we would say I am that I am that

you have to take action you have to do something

well, this is happening now every

day with measles with a vaccine

that we have and that only costs about

cents vaccinate where are the

most of the dead as they said in

the video from before are in the zones

least developed in the world

luckily this vaccine works and it

calculates that in the last 15 20 years

has saved the order of 20 million

lives that is said soon 20 million

children have not died measles

thanks to that every time it is spreading

plus vaccination and the goal is in

the year 2020 the goal the

world health organization is

have it very cornered this disease

of measles but still a fifth of

the children of the world does not have access to

the most basic vaccines that all

together they cost less than one euro

you have to take the vaccination these

sites which one of the problems of

today that will not be because vaccination

what we are doing in europe that

happens in europe because europe is not

settled as in the Americas because in

Europe is not settled because we

they are missing the collective unity

I have told you before that immunity

collective that yes we are enough

enough number of people

vaccinated does not happen to those few

vulnerable to that which have not been

could vaccinate good in Spain we are

very close to the necessary level of

vaccination to cover arrive at the

collective immunity that is 95 per

hundred

we are approaching some years

we arrived others not

in countries around us are

worse denmark france vaccine very little

however in countries of our

environment more sensitive to

diseases are very responsible with

Algeria and effectively immunize a

one with very high coverage at

people what consequences this has

in France

in Romania in countries in which

apparently they are so healthy so

hygienic as we are good in

France for example they went from having very

few cases to have many cases that has

happened in Romania now that is

happening now

Well, they have had seven thousand 500 cases

in the last year there have been 31 dead

31 deaths from measles in Europe is

one thing that we can not afford

because there are vaccines who are these 31

dead because they are mostly people who do not

96 percent of them are vaccinated

they were not vaccinated and who are they

they are precisely the most vulnerable

those who most need immunity

collectively to be protected why

this is happening in france because

is happening in Romania and in other

countries and because we have to prevent that

happen in Spain because there are people who

Opposes vaccination coma

as I said before esther there are people who

thinks that the risk is very high

vaccination it is better to pass the

natural measles but you have to be

aware that natural measles

it is a thousand times more cause a thousand times more

complications cause has a thousand times

more risk of getting the disease

that if you get vaccinated , therefore, you deserve

A thousand times to vaccinate with the virus

polio this number is 20,000 deserves

worth 20 thousand times vaccinated and

save lives that by a case of

possible complications

there are parents , however, who said no

Vaccinate children because parents

we all want the best for our

children I did in fact when I started

be more interested in vaccines and out

My niche research

laboratory was when they were born

children because there are parents who do not vaccinate

Well, there are parents who do not go because there

heartless people who convince them with

very complicated arguments that the

vaccines are bad

there are some parents who come to be

convinced that they know that vaccines

they do not work there are parents who are

insecure looking for all the possible

information on the internet and this is a

thing that will never end and therefore

have with this insecurity pulled out not

vaccinating and these parents have to be

informed that the vaccines are

sure that vaccines are effective

and yes

they do not withdraw from the market that for that

there are the health authorities

there are parents who are clueless that do not know

they realize that you have to vaccinate them

they forget vaccines and these parents there

to inform them that there really is

infectious agents in Romania has

there were 31 dead

It’s worth it and the worst is what happens in Spain

the worst situation most of the

cases of people who are not vaccinated are

people who are in isolation

sanitary is to say people who come without

papers people who do not dare to get there

to the health system people who are in

pockets of poverty

we have to send them the

access to health

what is the future of vaccines the

future vaccines is of course the

investigation

we have to investigate not only for

more vaccines for children but

also for vaccines for the population

current that sounded a a population

much older aged vaccines for

pregnant women to transmit with the

breastfeeding their immunity to their

babies in the best way to

protect them when they are most vulnerable

vaccines for sick vaccines for people

with the immune system depressed

for people are on chemotherapy for

cancer ecétera therefore I hope

have conveyed to you the idea that

vaccines are something very important that no

we only benefit each one of

us but also have a

very supportive point because if we

make it possible to eradicate vaccines

our countries we will be able to corner them

in the third world

There is something that scares me more than

vaccines that what I did doctors without

borders that is not having them

that really scares the

vaccines are very powerful have been

able to save three million lives

year

currently but still and three

millions of children who continue to die

lack of access to vaccines

in our hands we vaccinate

let’s vaccinate our children and we have

doubt

let’s go to the specialists you can

consult us to us without any

problem is in our hands and of

the diseases

infectious with the vaccines that we have

it’s in our hands

go unreal and is giving me the

child mortality is in our

hands what we ‘ve heard before do a

much more sustainable world

a population that can have a

number of children who do not die in the

childhood

thank you very much

[Applause]
