Preventable Deaths

The Center for Disease Control reports that of the 45 children who died of influenza this past season, 31 had not been vaccinated. There is a good chance that a number of these deaths could have been prevented but for the fears raised by the anti-vaccination activists.

The scientific evidence is clear: there is no link between vaccination and autism. Moreover, vaccines are one of the extraordinary achievements of the past 100 years, saving millions of lives and relieving billions more from suffering.

For the sake of these preventable deaths, and for the triumph of science over phantom fears, the anti-vaccine movement needs to be defeated.
