THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE

PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

Being a human = underlying risk factor

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

“The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints,
is when I carried you.”

Fired CDC scientists respond: “Despite recent suggestions to the contrary, the public trust ACIP. 99 of every 100 children have received at least some vaccines by 2 years of age. This does not suggest the population is so distrustful it warrants dismantling the vaccine recommendation process.”

How to speak to a vaccine sceptic: research reveals what works Hesitancy about vaccinations is on the rise, but studies show there are specific ways to address people's questions.

"If you think vaccination is a good idea, if you trust that, if you think it’s a good way to protect your children, I think you can share that view."
