VACCINATE YOUR FUCKING KIDS

i know this isn’t my first time reblogging this post to this blog, and it probably won’t be the last. Stay educated.

Before vaccines were a regular thing, epidemics had about 5x more casualties than epidemics of the same diseases today. Vaccines didn’t kick off right away at Jenner’s experiment, it wasn’t until Louis Pasteur’s experiment with anthrax when vaccines became more widely tested. And that experiment was still during the time period (late 19th century) when Germ Theory was still widely unaccepted. Germ Theory wasn’t taken as seriously until Robert Koch’s work with tuberculosis was the talk in nearly every European science magazine.

The first rising of antivaxx was in the 1880′s, from people who were both trained medical professionals and skeptical people with barely any knowledge of medicine. 

Its 2017, and with people STILL thinking vaccines don’t work makes me worried that one day I’m gonna have someone straight up tell me how real the miasma theory is.
