I am not a doctor but the way it was explained to me is this. When someone is injected with a vaccine, a small amount, the antibodies in your body attack it. Our antibodies are more plentyful therefore we destroy the let's say germs. And if our body is ever infected again we are able to regognize it and our antibodies again fight it off, this time from memory. When we are infected with say the germ (im not sure of the exact name of these bugs, say an ear infection, often a dr will prescribe an antibiotic to fight the infection. Often we quite taking the antibiotics before the infections is over . So the infection is now the antibody, it learns to fight the antibiotic dr are constantly prescribing antibiotics. So now we are breeding these super germs. I am not a dr so ask a dr or pharmacist to get the exact answer. And don't take antibiotics unless needed and if so finish them all
