Vaccinate your children. Please.
Throughout history, Americans have been at the forefront of scientific discovery.


In 1777, George Washington issued the first mass military inoculation in order to combat small pox at Valley Forge.

In 1952, New Yorker Jonas Salk created the Polio vaccine.

In 1963, Montana native Maurice Hilleman invented the Measles vaccine.

In 2019, we've got a measles outbreak.
And a mumps outbreak.
And a pertussis outbreak

America has been at the forefront of scientific discovery, but now, we are going back in time because of ignorance. These diseases are extremely dangerous, but preventable.

Vaccinate your kids.

  3. I agree. In order to avoid these diseases from reoccurring, we have got to do something to avoid it(vaccines).
