To vaccinate or to not vaccinate is a controversial statement because of religion believes, experiences that people have gone through, or because of scientific facts. The main reason why people believe that vaccines are good for our society is because of “Herd Immunity.” Herd Immunity is a believe that if every person gets vaccinated some of the viruses or diseases that exist will eventually not exist anymore to the point where people will not have to be vaccinated each year to prevent them from getting a certain virus or disease.

People believe this because of religion believes, a situation that has happened in their lives, or because of some scientific facts that they heard at one point of their lives. There are several religions that believe that vaccinations are evil because they believe that they were put on this world naturally and they should take their life course naturally so if sickness comes their way and it kills them they believe that, that was something that was meant to be. Some people struggle with trusting vaccinations because of an experience that they have gone through, for example people have had their child vaccinated at a young age and they developed a disease that they had not had previous to getting the vaccinations. People also do not believe that vaccines are not good because of scientific facts that they have heard, like young children have developed autism at a young age from getting a certain
Illnesses and diseases continue to develop and spread constantly throughout the world. These harmful viruses have always had a huge impact on humanity. Viruses caused many deaths and outbreaks in the past and present because viruses can be passed on easily. Luckily today there is a way to prevent the spread of these viruses, which is vaccines.

The controversy really started with the Vaccination Act of 1840, which made vaccines free for the poor. In 1853 the Compulsory vaccination Act was passed, that made all infants under three months of life, and if not done you were to pay a fine. The anti-vaccination league challenged the law, because they felt that the compulsory vaccination act challenged there basic rights
Vaccination vs. Non Vaccination has been a very controversial issue whatever side your on re-garding your opinion you must understand that in it will effect the health of you or your children . Even tho vaccinations are based on “choice" what if i told you that your child cannot attend a public school without vaccines. Even tho all 50 states require vaccinations for children entering public schools there is no real vaccination laws that exist . Vaccinations have cost the lives of people and have cost the government money so why are they so required . One example is that about 30,000 cases of adverse side effects have be reported due to vaccines since 1990 , Most were not serious but 15% was considered life threatening and left many people permanently dis-abled , ill , hospitalized , or in some cases even dead. In another case since 1989- July 2014 The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has paid over 133.2 million in legal coverage due to all the problem vaccinations have caused over the years
Daily we make decisions that impact our overall health and safety. We brush our teeth, we eat organic, go to the gym, wear our seat belts, and use sidewalks. Doesn’t it make sense that we’re also pro-vaccination? There are a multitude of benefits that come with immunizations. Vaccinating protects you, the people you care about, and future generations.
When you have a child you have a list of decisions to make, from what to name your baby, to what kind of stroller you want. You also have major decisions to make, like whether to vaccinate your baby or not. This has been a controversial topic for many years now.

As widespread as vaccinations can be they are very critical for your health and well-being. There are some certain people who cannot get vaccinations for their own health reason and it could lead to risks to that person but there are other people who simply don’t get it because of reasons including parents who choose to take their child out of vaccination process because they think they will harm the child even when they know nothing about the vaccination, people have decided that not vaccinating a child is dangerous, selfish, and anti-social. Studies have been done to show that only 55% of people think that all children should get vaccinations and only 22% of people think it should be the parents’ choice and the rest rather disagree or simply
Vaccines are proven to be very beneficial to society as a whole. Actually they have eliminated some very severe illnesses in the U.S.A like polio. Polio was an infectious disease that attacked the nervous system, and 13,000 to 20,000 cases that resulted in paralysis were reported until
Would you get your child their vaccinations when they needed them? Of course, you would! Well just like a kid needs certain shots throughout their childhood, calves need to be vaccinated, too. Some people may argue that vaccines are not helpful or they do more harm than good, but for a cattle farmer, vaccines are critical in maintaining a successful cow calf production. Cows are exposed to many different diseases, many of which are fatal, so farmers must ensure the health of their herd.
The world today is far different from how it used to be 2000 years ago, and 2000 more years from now it will continue to change. Changes come from what we currently have, so we have to decide what we are going to keep and what we want to change. One of the changes that we are going to have to decide is to keep or get rid of vaccines. A vaccination is when a person (normally a nurse) injects you with a small amount of weakened/dead microbes which helps your immune system get used to the disease and help prevent it. There are many benefits to have vaccines available to us, and like everything else in the world; there is a downside to having vaccines. Everyone has different opinions and depending on your perspective of how you see things, and what has happened to you. All of these factors can affect what and how you think of things.

The First Amendment of the US Constitution states, ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. (ProCon.org)’” Religious opposers believe mandatory vaccinations go against their first amendment right: Freedom of religion. They believe that being forced to get vaccinated make them go against god; “some believe it violates their religious freedom and subverts the
On the contrary, there are beliefs vaccines are not beneficial; they cause harm to the individual. There are parents who choose not to vaccinate their children due to specific beliefs. There are also some families who believe harmful diseases are not around in the United States. Parents choose not to vaccinate against diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, and polio as a result of the decreased cases of these diseases. Also, when talking about vaccinations, a popular controversy is vaccines causing autism in younger children. In an article written by Jennifer Scott, she states, “These moments in which parents suddenly connect the dots between their children’s vaccines and
Some critics believe parents and children should not have vaccinations. There’s still a debate going on because the medical community does not agree.
When some people are against vaccines, they are normally against vaccines because of their religion, belief system, or because people think vaccines cause autism. Others fight for a choice for their child who wouldn't be able to otherwise make their choice because they are too young to know what is happening. A lot of people are against vaccines because of their beliefs, they really shouldn't be because vaccines have seriously helped with diseases that have been harassing humanity for many years like smallpox, the flu, and whooping cough.

All of this is due to the one doctor who was bribed by a lawyer company four hundred thousand euros to bad-mouth vaccinations to give them a case against it in a lawsuit. This lost him his medical license and even still is believed to this very day by a large group of people. This topic is talked about on the internet quite often and it’s typically a debate between parents and doctors with little to no reasoning behind the parents’ perspective.
