Preface
Going into this project we both had a neutral opinions about vaccinations. The purpose of investigating this issue was to gain an opinion and discover what was true and what was false..

Our conclusion is based off of looking at the credible sources and studies, with evidence supported by science, that are directly related to vaccines.
This presentation is meant to educate and give credible resources that help others investigate and form their own opinion about the safety and practice of vaccines.

More Harm then Good?

30 scientific Studies Showing the Link between Vaccines and Autism Dr. James R. Shannon former Director of the National Health Institute doesnt exist

Supporting Data

Pertussis Outbreak in 2010

Largest outbreak of whopping cough in the US since 1947 Researchers concluded Our findings suggest that communities with large numbers of intentionally unvaccinated or under vaccinated persons can lead to pertussis outbreaks. In the presence of limited vaccine effectiveness and waning immunity, sustained community level transmission can occur, putting those who are most susceptible to communicable diseases, such as young infants, at increased risk.

Measles Outbreaks in 2010

Kenneth Copeland a church leader in Texas tell his congregation to not get vaccinated.

In Summary
Vaccines arent perfect but they have been proven to work Look at the behind claims and do your own research through credible sources like those in the medical and scientific community It is not just an individual issue it is a Public Health Issue

Questions?
I have links to all the studies and resources used in this project if anyone would like to use them to do your own research
