Vaxxing
When it comes to our health, sometimes we are our own illness. That’s certainly the case with the anti-vaccine movement. Many cite the link between vaccines and autism, but that was based on a fraudulent paper by British physician Andrew Wakefield that was later retracted. According to the World Health Organization, vaccines saved at least 10 million lives between 2010 and 2015. It’s not anti-choice, it’s pro-science. Yet now we see preventable illnesses making a comeback. The US was declared measles-free in 2000, but with anti-vaxxer sentiment rising, 1,000 cases of measles have already been reported this year. Coincidence?
