I recently read an article that made vaccine’s appear to be evil in a way. There is talk going around town that vaccines could be linked to Autism, according to Dr. Andrew Wakefield. He stated that “Refusing to vaccinate a child is dangerous not just for that child but for entire communities.” He relates the idea to people who choose to smoke and purposefully spend money on something that will surely increase their risk of health, whereas vaccines being refused pose a threat on kids, which is why he wants everyone to avoid them. The idea behind this seems to be that if everyone pitches in, they can beat the system. It just seems ridiculous. Why should people be avoiding a preventative over something that wasn’t proven to be true? This is the reason why the insurance premiums have raised – because of people out there that try to make their own rules of what should be left to the Physicians. I think that if everyone stopped taking all of the vaccines, there would eventually become an increase in diseases that wouldn’t have normally arose. People should leave the medical decisions to the doctors, and especially not live by an unproven statement.
