Vaccinations are vital to the safety of the human race. People who do not vaccinate, called anti-vaxxers, are putting public health in danger. While vaccines may cause an allergic reaction, they are safe and should be used because children recover from vaccine induced reactions with no lasting effects, autisms link to vaccines lacks consistent evidence for association, anti-vaxxers put those who cannot receive vaccines because medical reasons at risk, and vaccines save hundreds of thousands of lives. Reactions caused by vaccines have not shown any negative lasting effects. Anti-vaxxers claim that vaccines are not worth the risk, but the risks of vaccines are the same as an aspirin (Vaccine Myths). Vaccines are no more dangerous than any other medicine that is used universally by most people. Although vaccines can cause an allergic reaction, that is true with all medicines.

Not vaccinating is putting the future of humanity in danger by destroying the potential of these children. Vaccines can not only save millions of lives, but save billions of dollars. Vaccinations could save the human population billions of dollars by reducing medical costs caused by treatment of the preventable diseases
