A Report on Research Ethics: Investigating Harmful Effects of Vaccines

This report delves into the research ethics surrounding the potential harmful effects of vaccines. It outlines the research aim and objectives, which focus on identifying factors causing autism, impacts on the immune system, types of allergies linked to vaccination, the percentage of mercury in vaccines, and other negative ingredients found in vaccines. The research questions explore whether vaccines cause autism, overload the immune system, cause allergies, contain mercury, or have other harmful ingredients. A systematic research design with an inductive approach was employed, utilizing secondary data collected from sources like PUMS, DHS, Google Scholar, and European medicine agencies. Qualitative data analysis tools, specifically thematic analysis, were used to analyze the collected data. The justification for this research is to raise awareness about vaccines, addressing fears and providing information on side effects, immune system impacts, and vaccine ingredients, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Research aim and objectives
Aim: The main of conducting this study is “To identify harmful effects of vaccines”.
Objectives:
 To identify causing factor of autism.
 To identify impacts of vaccines on immune system.
 To evaluate types of allergies that vaccination leads.
 To identify the % of mercury in vaccines.
 To discuss about all negative ingredients that found in vaccines.
Research questions
1. Do the vaccine cause autism?
2. Do vaccines overload the immune system?
3. Do vaccination cause allergies?
4. Do vaccines contain mercury?
5. Do vaccines have any harmful ingredients?
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research design: Research design refers framework of research techniques that is being
chosen by researcher. Descriptive, systematic and experimental are types of research design.
Selection of type of design depends on the nature of research topic. Selection of research design
is vital as it helps researcher in knowing which tools to be used and how they are used for better
data collection (Rahi, 2017). For this study systematic research design has selected in which
researcher uses explicit method to select, identify and critically appraising relevant research in
order to extract data. It has gathered non-numerical data.
Research approach: An effective plan that consists of some steps of assumption regard
selection of tools for data collection and analysis is known as research approach. In inductive
research approach, a brand new theory is being generated and in deductive research approach, an
existing theory is being developed related to research topic. For this study, inductive research
approach has selected because of its relevancy to systematic and qualitative research.

Data collection: Collection of relevant data is important as it helps scholars in
accomplishing research goal and getting positive outcomes. Primary and secondary are 2 types of
data collection. Primary data are those that are being gathered for the very first time. Secondary
are the type of data that may be used before by others because they are published already (Scott
and Kline, 2019). For this research study, secondary data have collected in order to know all
about vaccine such as their side effects, impact on immune system and others. Some sources that
have used for collecting secondary data include: PUMS, DHS, Google scholar, European
commission, European medicine agency and others.
Data analysis: After collecting relevant data, scholar needs to analyse them in order to make use
of them for getting positive outcomes. Analysed data helps in making research study successful.
As it is systematic and qualitative research so, researcher has selected or made use of qualitative
data analysis tool. For analysing numerical data, quantitative data analysis tools are being used.
In qualitative, thematic data analysis tool has been used (Richards and Hemphill, 2018).
Background and justification of project
The main reason of selecting this topic is to make people aware about vaccines. Due to
covid-19 or pandemic, it becomes important and essential for all to get vaccinated but some
people have fear regarding this. So, by conducting research on this topic, all things and
information can be known related to vaccines like its side effects, impacts of vaccines on
immune system, % of mercury that is used in vaccines and others.
