Do you know anyone who has contracted Smallpox, a disease that has been around for at least 3,000 years? Probably not.
Because vaccines have practically eradicated this once feared disease. The last known natural case was in Somalia in 1977, the World Health Organization said.
Know anyone who has polio? Nope. Know why? Childhood vaccines eliminated this malady in the U.S. There are still some poliovirus cases in Pakistan and India, but for the most part vaccines have pushed this crippling disease into history.
Unfortunately, Anti-vaxxers are against childhood vaccinations that can save the lives of two to three million youngsters who die from preventable diseases each year. The numbers of unvaccinated children has quadrupled since 2001, according to the Centers of Disease Control.
Why? Because what began as attempts to prove Autism was linked to vaccinations, has become an anger filled personal freedom debate, said The Nautilus, a publication of Texas A&M University at Galveston.
Thus, in many online forums, you’ll be treated to unhinged rants from people without medical degrees that may become devolve into demands to accept questionable research. Vaccines do not cause Autism, a claim which has been widely debunked as false.
But you’ll be sure to hear Anti-vaxxers’ howls of rage and derision when Covid-19 vaccines are distributed first to doctors, nurses and those in nursing homes.
Any person who believes doctors and nurses should die because of their irrational agenda against vaccines is a person who needs to be pitied.
