Faces of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases

These are the Faces of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases

We can no longer afford complacency.

These stories are those of five families whose lives have been forever changed by vaccine-preventable diseases. Don't let what happened to these families happen to yours. Take your best shot against vaccine-preventable diseases and protect your family! Go to immunizenow.org to learn more about the vaccines recommended for both children adolescents and adults. Vaccines prevent dangerous diseases and save lives. Immunize now!

The West Virginia Immunization Network urges you to understand the seriousness of vaccine-preventable diseases and to help raise awareness that vaccines are safe, effective and necessary to protect our families and communities.

In 2010 many families experienced the consequences of diseases that could've been prevented by vaccines: pain and suffering, missed work and school, amputations, death and loss of a loved one. Diseases like Meningitis, Whooping Cough, Chickenpox, Influenza and others are vaccine preventable, yet families continue to experience these serious repercussions because of them. Get the facts about Vaccine-Preventable Diseases today. Children, adolescents and adults alike need vaccines. Go to immunizenow.org to find out what immunizations are recommended for you AND your loved ones.

I 1st hand have had pain and suffering because I was injured by the hep B vaccine. Tell the other side of the story!

[FORCEDANARCHY]

What about parents who have had their kids injured by vaccines???

Anti-vaxxers here show common traits: they are ignorant of scientific method and basic statistical reasoning and push discredited woo in their support. Meh, there will always be idiots. These idiots of course, pose a public health risk, but at least the risk is small-scale so far.

@Mindanoiha What specific toxic substances? You have no proof of any of your claims, and are spreading misinformation.

Love how delusional the anti-vaxxers leaving comments on this site. Bitching about how their kids were hurt by vaccines. At least their still alive unlike Ian, Dana McCaffery & thousands of other kids who have died from easily preventable diseases simply bc they were too young to be vaccinated & their neighbors helped spread those diseases by not vaccinating. 15 kids die each day in car accidents from distracted drivers alone. Why aren't these people trying to ban cars?

@Kevysmom04

Most of those 100,000 are commonly due to simply overdosing, mixing medicines, unknown defect (due to unknown fluke reactions). People die from medicines from either negligence.

What cures would you suggest for these preventable diseases? Simply washing your hands won't protect you from rabies, and same with meningitis

[sadkowski7]

The truth is you are more likely to be harmed driving to the doctors office to get the vaccine than actually getting the vaccine...............

[Mindanoiha]

This video gives several false claims. Vaccines are not safe. They destabilise the immune system and they contain many toxic dangerous substances. The argument that amounts are small, so substances are not toxic, does not hold. All medical students learn that substances behave differently according to whether they are eaten or injected. There is gross under reporting of severe side effects. There are many thousands who are injured by vaccines, but the cases are not reported.

Safe, effective, and necessary??????? Go do Some research and stop putting out bull crap like this!

[357andreavs]

This video is full of false information. You claim that vaccines are "safe, effective, and necessary" when vaccines are none of those! Not one. There are thousands of children damaged or killed by vaccines. There is strong correlation with auto-immune diseases. Recent - deaths from the new Gardasil vaccine. Vaccines are full of toxic substances. If they WERE effective, it MIGHT be worth the risk, but outbreaks always affect vaccinated people. My 17 yr old son, never vaxed-super healthy!

Was that baby breastfed? How was his vitamin D level? I'm glad Melissa is ok now but what about those kids who DID get vaccines and now can't walk and have to depend on others the rest of their lives? or what about those babies who die from getting vaccines? Did the older people in this video's "immunity" just 'wear off"? I do feel for these families, but also for the families who lose a child because they chose the vaccine. All they get is an explaination of, "well, it was just a coincidance."

[Kevysmom04]

Just a puppet for Pharma. AFTER efforts to "cure" the flu with drugs that kill. He had the flu shot, duh" and thats a lie about the deaths. The CDC says 230 people died from the "flu" the majority of these were elderly. Over 100,000 people are KILLED each year from medication. That doesnt include drug errors.
