    I think if vaccinations could make someone live longer, the need to do what is best for them, and everything will work in the best way for them. I think it is good no matter your background, you can still get vaccinated because the doctors want what is best for you. Also, the case about the child that needed help with cancer, and her parents wanted her to be treated the “natural” way, that was just very wrong. I think it was wrong, because no one should be denied help if they need it to live. Everyone should be helped because life is a precious thing that can be taken too early if you are not…

    Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Judaism, and Islam all endorse vaccinations because they all preach public well-being over the individual. Christians are also in this group, but are concerned about vaccinations that contain aborted fetuses and recommend alternatives. However, there is no doctrine stating they are forbidden (Moulton). This means that there is no anti-vaccine scripture to be seen, and those who state that they are part of one of these religions should not be admitted for religious exemption. These religions go as far as to say that it would be immoral not to vaccinate as it is disrespectful to life (Grabenstein).…

We simply do not know how to make people who are against vaccinations come around to trust and accept the science behind them. " We need to find a way to show everyone…
