There has been a recent and alarming outbreak of measles, a disease once thought to be contained by vaccines, which has hit a 25-year high, infecting over 700 people in 2019 alone. No deaths have yet to be recorded at the expense of the outbreak, thankfully. A recent study came out stating that the disease has slithered its way into 22 states, and it mainly infects unvaccinated children. Interesting. Many officials have dubbed the outbreak as "completely avoidable", including our own President, Donald Trump, who encouraged the public to get the vaccines on Saturday, April 26th. It is highly encouraged that everyone goes to their local CVS and get their vaccines.
Personally, I find it really stupid that condone wouldn’t vaccinate their kid. Before vaccines, there were versions of horrible diseases that killed people but now we are privileged to have them and use them to help us live longer. There is a very very very very slim chance that the vaccine will have any harmful side effects too. You have a bigger risk of getting hurt by stepping into a car than you do get vaccinated. I can relate this to u.s history through how the native Americans contracted diseases from Europeans because they hadn’t been introduced to them yet.
