You probably are too young to remember the dreaded childhood diseases like polio and measles that maimed or killed young children by the tens of thousands. Your grandmother would likely have been willing to give up her life for an effective vaccine that would have prevented these diseases. And thanks to medical research, we have them. Unfortunately, a crooked researcher in the UK published an article in the 1990s that falsely claimed that vaccines caused autism; millions of dollars have been spent trying to verify that claim and it is now known with certainty that vaccines do not cause autism. Not vaccinating your children not only puts their lives at risk, it also puts at risk the lives of children with whom they come into contact who aren’t old enough to get the vaccines. It is an incredible embarrassment that the most publicized recent outbreaks of measles have been in religious Jewish and Muslim communities; we are supposed to be better than that.
