The freedom of choice is stronger now than
ever before, but it comes with consequences. Measles was once a disease stated
to be eliminated by a simple vaccine in 2000, is now striking cities across the
country. Children are not being vaccinated and are infecting those too young or
sick. “The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and the New York Department of Health are warning Americans that the illness can take 10 days to show
symptoms.” Outbreaks are becoming a
state of emergency and mandatory vaccines are being broadcasted the news. “According to recent
data from the CDC,
465 people nationwide have contracted measles this year in 19 different states.”
These outbreaks will lead to an increasing number of others infected and
long-term illnesses.
