      I don’t have any opinions of them. There are lots of information available and everyone has a choice. However, lot of work needs to be done to find out why there is an increase in the refusal for vaccines and look at different ways of communicating the importance by appealing to the hearts and minds of ant vaxxers

    I’d like to leave a comment here because I think there is a bit to say. A lot of misinformation is spread about vaccines. It basically involves the injection of a weakened or dead virus so that the body can create an immunity should it ever come in contact with the real thing.

    People worry about certain chemicals in vaccines but they shouldn’t after all a specific chemical may sound scary but is completely safe when bonded into a molecule. Fluorine is one of the most reactive explosive elements on the planet but when bonded as fluoride it’s even put in your toothpaste.

    People say that vaccines cause all sorts of conditions and this is heartbreaking! There was one very bad experiment conducted a few years ago that started rumours of this. Both the ethics and actual results of the experiment were found to be wrong and terrible. It is just not true.

    Overall another damaging thing is the loss of “herd immunity”. Some people can be allergic to vaccines and can’t get immunity that way. They can be prevented from getting diseases by the fact that no one around them can get them because they are all vaccinated.

    Anti-vaccine propaganda is a dangerous thing and it can cost lives!
