After watching The Vaccine Wars, the main concerns with vaccines are public safety, the consequences of injecting harmful chemicals into one's body, and parents choosing not to vaccinate their children children. At the beginning of the documentary, a mother, Jennifer Margulis, says she believed it was not necessary for her newborn to be vaccinated against a sexually transmitted disease. She feels the ingredients are scary to take in for a young child with an immature immune system. The other problem is the massive epidemic that could have been prevented. The Center for Disease Control is closely watching the town where Ms. Margulis lives, Ashland, Oregon, because it is the least vaccinated place in America due to parents opting out of vaccines. This becomes a social problem because if a child is not vaccinated and comes into contact with a person with a contagious disease, it will spread to other unvaccinated children. This will lead to it becoming an epidemic. The cause of this social problem is the time we are living in, we live in an era where we can find anything, about anyone, at our fingertips. The Internet has led us to look for other options than the generation before us. The media content on vaccines is very extensive. There is always someone who will support your opinions, even on the other side of the world. The social problem is not solved because people will always have a different way of thinking from that of others. It is ingrained in us to have our own opinions. What would you do if you were talking to another parent who doesn't believe in vaccination? Would you warn them about the harm they are doing to their children? And the damage to your company? Even if your child is vaccinated, you may... middle of paper... not be aware of the problem of unvaccinated children in the mix, which leads people to believe that vaccines can cause autism. Remembering a few years ago, this was in the news reporting on Jenny and her son's autism, if this could change my mind about vaccines, it's possible that other people have wavering opinions too. Cognitive dissonance would be the most likely theory for what these parents choose for their families. They want to be heard; they are not comfortable with vaccines given to children and have a feeling that they will lead to illnesses in the future. Even though doctors and scientists tell them this will make children more at risk of contracting something in the near future. The social question will not disappear. There will always be someone who will have problems until vaccines become safer, for non-believers. Bibliography (Campell, 2013) (Shane Ellison, 2012)
