EvaluationIn my opinion, I think it is important that children continue to have the MMR vaccine, because it is potentially lifesaving. There is some evidence that the vaccine causes autism in children, however these studies only used small sample sizes, so it is hard to know how realistic their conclusions are. In reality, it is likely that only a small number of children have developed autism due to the vaccine, if any at all. However, the MMR vaccine has certainly saved lives as the three diseases have almost been irradicated in the western world, but if a large number of children do not have the vaccine, then there could be a new outbreak of the diseases that could kill many children. In conclusion, I think that the number of lives saved by the MMR vaccine outweighs the risks that have been associated with it. |
