  • Hi Eric,
    I found this post to be interesting, it really got me thinking on how the internet might influence us and our thinking. We spend so much time on the internet reading articles, and social media and so on. I agree with your last paragraph, it is our responsibility to keep thinking and challenging our brain.

    • McKenna, I really enjoy your informative article speaking upon the
      Dear McKenna,

      I am satisfied and in agreement with your informative article because it speaks greatly on the current issue of vaccines and whether or not they are essential to human life. Using scientific reasoning to back up your claim, your statements stood with truth and stability. Purely speaking about the importance of vaccinations would really open your readers’ eyes on the issue and hopefully it would encourage them to vaccinate their child immediately.

      One thing you said that stands out for me is: “That is exactly the outcome vaccines are designed to accomplish, to help ensure that people, especially young children who are still developing their immune systems do not contract a life threatening illness. ” I think this is intelligent because it definitely defeats the statement that vaccines enable autism among children.

      Your article reminds me of something that happened to me. As I was attempting to reach out to people and support the stabilization in healthcare in America, I believe there was discussion about vaccinations being too costly in America- to the point that it discouraged people to get them. The average cost to fully vaccinate a child with private insurance to the age of 18 to $2,192 from $100, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

      Thanks for your project. I look forward to seeing what you write next!

      In the meantime, I’d like to speak about articles in my blog that speak on this issue of vaccinations as well! In my blog, the option of clinics opposed to other conventional healthcare settings are heavily encouraged due to the fact that clinics provide an affordable option to things like STD testing, treatments to common illnesses, and vaccinations!

    • Dear Mckenna,

      I agree with you that more people should let their kids be vaccinated. I believe that if this happens not only will we meet the Global Coverage target, but it can make a lot of kids healthier again and decrease the chances of others also catching all these disease that can be fatal to them.

  • I love this! It is so true, I can’t tell you how many times I pick my dog up or other animals and love to hold them and cuddle with them. I thought the facts at the end were very interesting too!

    • McKenna, I am actually really interested in reading your article because this is something that has been interesting to me as well. My mom and I have different opinions on this topic and we argue about whether vaccinations are beneficial or not. Hopefully after reading your piece, I will know more about this topic and both sides of this issue.

    • McKenna,
      This is a great topic to write about! I suggest the CDC, the WHO, and medical journals to do research for your paper. I hope that the research you find will better inform people so they can know if it is safe, and or beneficial to vaccinate. I would also read specially about the increased rates of autism in rich countries, you may be surprised at the real reason the rates are going up. Hope this helps!

    • This is a very interesting topic. I’ve heard people fight about this in school and in public, so it’s obviously a heated topic. I’d love to see your opinion on the topic and what you find out in your research.

    • McKenna,

      This is a great topic! I am interested to see how you back up your arguments and if there is some connection between vaccines and autism. I myself feel that I need to be more informed about this as I will soon be 18 and have to make my own medical decisions. I would love to see what you find out.
