Truth and Consequences about Immunizations

The comparison and contrast of reasons of why and why not to get the immunization is that by getting the immunization there is a chance of not getting a certain type of disease and some don't get it because they want some kind of chemical to go into their body. The ones that are for the immunization give their reason that it helps their children to not get sick, and the other people think that it can cause injury to the children.

My thoughts about the immunization debate is that i actually go for the immunization because they do help you to prevent certain things that you can get ,  but then i do understand the reason of the other side that they believe that they can be harmful just like a Genevieve said hoe she didn't want any chemicals to go into her son because he is fragile. And it is true what Dempsey said about how there is mis information out there about shots there is many websites that tell you that they are actually good for you and some say the total opposite that confuses you
