Vaccines should be mandatory, as vaccinations can save lives, a potentially fatal disease could spread easily in an unvaccinated group, and fatal diseases would become less common.. Vaccines create antigens, these antigens make the body create antibodies, which in part kill disease’s cells, in short, vaccines save lives. In “Straight Talk about Vaccination” by Matthew F.

Because vaccines work so well, diseases wouldn’t be able to spread to other people, as the vaccines would do their job in producing antibodies, thus killing off any disease cells from ever circulating in the body. Without the ability to spread the disease will die off, as it cannot reproduce. When a vaccine is effective in immunizing a patient, the disease will not be able to spread as the disease would be destroyed by the immune systems of the potential
