Argumentative Essay: The Need For Vaccines

Improved Essays
It’s been 3 years since I graduated high school and decided to join the army; I have been in training for a year. The day after I got out of training, the President decided to give a free vaccine for people to aid in curing their disease and also help to prevent any disease in the future.This project was one of the Presidents campaigns to provide the people with free medical healthcare for all conditions and diseases. Everyone was convinced and decided to have the vaccine, but some people decided not to take it because no one actually knew if it really worked or cured any diseases. A month later people started dying, but no one knew why or what happened. Based on the coroner's report they died without any symptoms, just instant death, …show more content…
Everyone believed the government like as if they were just followers, so people still took the vaccine. People who took the vaccine felt really good after weeks, but little did they know the government wasn't really giving a free vaccine to cure people they're giving diseases to make people sick. After a couple of months a massive outbreak happened again, but this time people started going into havoc, the vaccine didn't just make them go insane in the membrane,and also the vaccine strengthens their hunger making them want to eat everything, and anyone, they see. Three days later the government stepped in and took action against the incidents. Several people just started to go missing and no one knows who or what happened to them, we just know they participated in taking the …show more content…
Since I didn't take the vaccine I was pretty safe from getting sick and catching the symptoms. This disease caused everyone to become a horrifying psycho killer as well as a cannibal. It’s been really tough to survive since there isn't really much food left from scavenging and also there isn't a working car to travel around so I figured i’d survive for a month. The only things I have left are a couple cans of beans and few of bullets for my shotgun. I had been traveling for days till I met a girl named Kim. I heard her shout when I was scavenging a nearby gas station, and one of the infected were chasing her. She ran right into me and I kinda panicked and shot the person who was chasing her, blowing their head off, their blood splattering all over the walls. I killed him with one and a half shots from my shotgun.She smiled at me, thanked me for saving her life and gave me a hug so I hugged her back and she kissed my cheeks, I blushed and looked away. I asked her what her name was and she told me her name was Kim, I replied back and told her my name was Andy and I asked her how old she was and she told me she was 19, she then asked me back out her curiosity and I told her I was 18 turning 19. She didn't believe me at first so I showed her my drivers license and she was pretty convinced seeing my ID. Later on I questioned why she was getting chased and she explained that she was looking for food and other survival items but

    The author of Deadly Choices, Paul Offit, explores from the anti-vaccine movement’s origins through the impacts it has on society today. He argues against anti-vaccination due to the threat it poses not only on our children, but to society as a whole. With the breakthroughs science has had in terms of treating infectious diseases, he claims that there should be close to zero outbreaks of common illnesses. After giving background on vaccines, Offit offers up some solutions, even solutions that would never work in today’s society because of the fear and ignorance of the anti-vaccination movement. Offit used the chart of Robert Chen, the head of immunization safety at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1998 (191), to explain what…

    How does one determine what is a religious versus personal belief? Religious exemption is a written form that certifies a parent’s objection to immunization for religious reasons, and exempts the parent and child from the state’s vaccination requirements. Unfortunately, this is a highly flawed process. The debate on vaccinations versus religion has been ongoing for almost a century, and is not going anywhere. While one’s opinion can never be considered wrong, it can be misguided and in some cases very extreme.…

You should still have your kids vaccinated because, we are riding the world of these diseases that are killing…
