They have been the reason that we don’t have/are much more manageable huge outbreaks of viruses any more. Now let me elaborate on why you should get vaccinated if you don’t know already.

Some people have the idea that vaccines cause autism. They do not. There was one person who made a study that said that vaccines cause autism. The one article that said it did was retracted and he who wrote it lost his medical license. There is no medical evidence that it is their is a link between them. Medical terms and regular language isn’t compatible, that basically means that there is no way that they are related. Here Dr. Robert Jacobson, Chair of Pediatrics at Mayo Clinic tells you himself there is no link between the two.

So, my cousin Trevor has mild autism and the signs started showing around when he was four or five, when they usually do. This is around the time most kids get their shots. Now I am very proud of my uncle for not jumping to conclusions and being weak of mind, like he sometimes is.

The next reason to get vaccinated is herd immunity. So herd immunity is the concept that if a certain amount of the population is vaccinated then the unvaccinated population should be safe. Now does this mean that you don’t need to get vaccinated? No! It means that the people who can’t get vaccinated, like people who’s immune systems are compromised, like premature babies or children with cancer. So if you get immunized then that means you are doing a service out there for the little kids who can’t.

Now, I know, I saved the best for last, but it is facts. According to an article published by the CDC in the last 20 years vaccines have prevented, in children over 700,000 deaths and 21 million hospitalizations. That was just in the last 20 years think before that millions of people died from vaccine preventable diseases. If you don’t get vaccinated then you are vaunerable to these diseases. Then you might die, simple as that.
