In this day and age, the internet is filled with false information about the safety of vaccinations. That's, well, the internet. But what's scarier is that in many states, parents who buy into those myths can easily opt out of immunizing their children. With many beliefs spreading within the United States on the subject of immunizations. Many wonder if these vaccinations are really preventing diseases and viruses. But with the evidence that we have today through studies, research, and experiments by scholarly professionals we can make the approach that vaccinations has proven to be an effective means of preventing serious effects, including fatalities, from childhood illnesses.

At the age under 3 the majority are all vaccinated for these two rare diseases thanks to high research and vaccinations. Measles is an infectious disease which can give unpleasant symptoms with high temperatures, a rash as well as aches and pains (Carter, 2011). Without getting vaccinated the United States would be contributing to the 200,000 deaths each year that measles has an effect on globally (Moss and Griffin, 2012). The World Health Assembly assigned a resolution that urged countries to reduce the mortality rates attribute by measles. By the end of 2005 the mortality rate was reduced by 60% leaving rare evidence that measles is still around today in the U.S (Moss and Griffin, 2012). On the other hand, measles and influenza are not the only viruses to come in contact with human beings. In fact, diphtheria a virus that I was not strongly aware of is a highly contagious bacterial disease causing inflammation of the mucous membranes. Before this vaccination was developed and studied the United States averaged more than 175,000 cases of diphtheria each year but since then with the increase of immunizations of these three basic viruses diphtheria cases have fallen by over 99.9% being extremely rare in the U.S (Selekman, 1998). And the lowest ever record, only 2.9 percent of schoolchildren are not fully immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, …show more content…
For many that are put in this position of opposing vaccinations I just have one consideration to add to this controversy look at the scholarly facts and evolution of vaccinations. Numerous studies prove that vaccines may trigger problems like autism, ADHD and diabetes but this is also the number one false reason individuals will wave immunizations and avoid them. A study done by the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System showed that the side effects that are noted by individuals have nothing to do vaccinations and just are a coincidence (Szabo, 2011). Many of you’re thinking that doesn’t prove anything and that is what I first thought but CDC and Autism developmental disabilities network backed up the statement by undergoing a study that there is one ingredient found in our child vaccines that could be linked to autism because it is genetic. Further research was developed and in 2001 on the ingredient thimerosal that was specifically studied had no result of autism relation (Szabo, 2011). Death and vaccinations are not widely conversed but records by the CDC show few deaths can plausibly be attributed to vaccines that it is hard to assess the risk statistically. Of all deaths reported to CDC between 1990 and 1992, only one is believed to be
