Mahatma Gandhi Quotes

I think children should be vaccinated because that affects the health of all the other children.

Vaccinations absolutely work, and have dramatically decreased rates of childhood diseases.

Universal vaccination may well be the greatest success story in medical history.

It's clear that prevention will never be sufficient. That's why we need a vaccine that will be safe.

You no more have the right to risk others by failing to vaccinate than you do by sending your child to school with a hunting knife. Vaccination isn't a private choice but a civic obligation.

Childhood vaccines are one of the great triumphs of modern medicine. Indeed, parents whose children are vaccinated no longer have to worry about their child's death or disability from whooping cough, polio, diphtheria, hepatitis, or a host of other infections.

Vaccines are safe, effective, and lifesaving.

Vaccines don't cause autism. Vaccines, instead, prevent disease. Vaccines have wiped out a score of formerly deadly childhood diseases. Vaccine skepticism has helped to bring some of those diseases back from near extinction.

When I was a child, there were not that many vaccines. I was vaccinated for polio. I actually got measles as a child. I got pertussis, whooping cough. I remember that very well.

Vaccines are the most cost-effective health care interventions there are. A dollar spent on a childhood vaccination not only helps save a life, but greatly reduces spending on future healthcare.

Vaccines save lives; fear endangers them. It's a simple message parents need to keep hearing.

I'm very much in favor of vaccinations, and I've been very vocal about that because it's insane to forgo this.

Vaccines are the tugboats of preventive health.

We're all in denial from time to time. We all see things that are too painful to really deal with. But this has consequences, and the consequences of not vaccinating your children are not only just that those children are exposed to illnesses; it's that everyone else they go to school with and they hang around with are, too.

Herd immunity is, it turns out, not incredibly easy to understand. It took me quite a bit of reading before I fully grasped it. But understanding herd immunity is essential to understanding why we vaccinate the way we do.

The truth is, there is no link between vaccines and autism. Vaccines are incredibly important.

In some areas, immunity has been eroded so much that the child who's not vaccinated is now actually more vulnerable to the complications of infectious diseases.

For just a few dollars a dose, vaccines save lives and help reduce poverty. Unlike medical treatment, they provide a lifetime of protection from deadly and debilitating disease. They are safe and effective. They cut healthcare and treatment costs, reduce the number of hospital visits, and ensure healthier children, families and communities.

We give our kids vaccinations. That's a biological enhancement that's considered not just acceptable but actually admirable.

If smallpox were a threat just to individuals, then it could be left up to individuals to decide whether or not they want to protect themselves.

If we vaccinate well, if we increase those vaccination rates, we can stop measles just as we stopped it before.

I'm very pro vaccine. I get all six of my kids vaccinated. I believe vaccines save millions of lives, and people ought to be getting vaccinated.

I think public awareness of how good vaccines are for kids and how they are good for public health is a great idea.

With infectious disease, without vaccines, there's no safety in numbers.

It was and has been one of the major interventions in public health, and it's absolutely vital that people vaccinate their children.
