The article above is based on data to inform the public about the purpose of vaccines

and how they affect the human body. Halloran explains throughout the paper that

vaccines have been helping out the body by creating antibodies. The author also states

that vaccines aren’t a cause of autism. This article will help my paper by providing a

basic understanding of vaccines and also on how they benefit the population.

scientists increases public support for vaccines: Evidence from a randomized

experiment. BMC Public Health, 15(1). doi:10.1186/s12889-015-2541-4

The paper written by Linden is about a scientific research they do to find out if society

has a bad or good view on vaccines. They mostly find that many of the population has a

negative opinion since they tend to obtain false information. This is a because they have

been influenced by false statements and scientists go and provide the public with facts.

This is a really beneficial source since I can provide facts and many data they found in

their own research.

Promotion: A Randomized Trial. Pediatrics, 133(4). doi:10.1542/peds.2013-2365d

The experiment performed by this Pediatricians was to give a survey to adults who had

children under 17. It was designed to see the certain percentage of parents who were

against it and for it. After the survey, they were presented with different scenarios to see

if they changed their mind. After presenting the parents with facts, they didn’t seem to
 change their mind but they had a different perspective on vaccines. This experiment can

help my article by giving the audience view on vaccines.

future. Nature Reviews Microbiology, 9(12), 889-893. doi:10.1038/nrmicro2668

The article by the Plotkin is a brief history of how vaccines were first implemented to help

out an organism. The first vaccine was used on cows who had been dying. They decided

to inject a weaker version of the virus so that the cow can develop a stronger defense

system. The result was that the cow learned how to fight of the weaker virus and at the

end it had a plan to survive the actual pathogen.

vaccination misinformation on the Internet. Retrieved April 1, 2019, from

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X09019264

Poland came up with an idea to find out how the Internet has affected the way society

has created a negative view on vaccines. He started by looking up all the articles against

vaccination and then determining what data was correct since many of the articles

consisted on assumptions and not on actual data. This study showed that a lot of false

information was out there that it actually makes society see vaccines as something that

harms humanity instead of helping it. This study can be very useful to my article since it

will have a reason why many people have a negative view on vaccination.

The article above shows how UNICEF, a non-profit organization created by The United

Nations, expanded a program that could give free immunizations to those who couldn’t

afford it. In many of the communities, the habitants weren’t aware and those who had an

idea what vaccines were, they couldn’t afford them. The paper evaluates the effect in

prevention of diseases when the economically disadvantaged get the proper health care.

It basically lowers the spread of the disease and it can easily be destroyed by an

organism. This paper will support my argument because by vaccinating everyone,

diseases who are deadly can be vanished in no time.

The article above shows the point of view of parents that their children need to be

vaccinated in order to attend middle school. The overall arguments were grounded with

moral, religious, political, economic, and sociocultural views. This made the research

more extensive since they had many arguments that were for it. The main reason I

decided to use this article was to have evidence that there’s a lot of controversy but the

overall idea is that vaccines are more of a benefit.
