future infections. Other infectious diseases like chickenpox also decreased dramatically since the vaccine, it states “Chickenpox used to infect 4 million kids a year, hospitalize 11,000, and killed 105; within a decade of a vaccine being rolled out in the mid- 1990’s, infections had dropped to 600,000 resulting in 1,276 hospitalizations and 19 deaths.” Getting his point across, Bailey uses factual evidence to say that vaccines, for example, chickenpox has helped people not get infected and…

Chickenpox is one example of viral infection and is caused by varicella-zoster virus. It is a highly contagious viral infection which is common in children. The disease causes red itchy spots that turn quickly into blisters and they spread rapidly…
