38. A deeper Dive: Vaccinations (Part One)

According to the World Health Organization, more than 150 million lives have been saved in the last half century of global vaccination programs, yet vaccination rates the US, UK and Canada have been declining for the last 5 years and measles is now back and doing its worst in 18 US states. Here at WTYT we firmly believe that people who choose not to vaccinate their children love their children just as much as those who do choose to vaccinate but with so much information and misinformation out there, we think the time is right for a mostly science-based discussion on the mechanics of vaccines. In this two-part discussion, we focus on how vaccines collaborate with our immune systems to help protect us as well as discussing some positive and negative aspects of vaccinations. As always, let us know what you think and if you have further questions, please ask – we love hearing from you all 😊
