    Myths/Truths about vaccinationMyth 1- The fact that we have better hygiene and have revolutionized our sanitation methods will simply make diseases disappear.

While it is true that forms of cleanliness aimed at maintaining hygiene, such as using soap to wash hands and using clean water, ultimately prevent the creation of infectious and deadly diseases , many infections have the potential to spread despite our cleaning efforts. If your loved ones aren't vaccinated, once-rare diseases like polio and measles may return. Myth 2 – Vaccines have many deadly long-term side effects. NO research has yet been done to determine these effects. But we hypothesize that some of these effects can be fatal. This is not true. The vaccines we take are generally safe.

Vaccines cause autism. There was a study in the 90s that found a possible link between the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and autism, but was later found to be questionable. The article has since been removed from public view by the journal that published it. However, this release ultimately created a panic that led to declining vaccination rates and, ironically, further outbreaks of these diseases. Ultimately, there is no evidence of a link between the vaccine and the development of autism..
