There are times when reality is so obvious, so clear, so
rock-solid 100% amazingly in-your-face incontrovertible, that it is
beyond belief that anyone could deny it. And yet, antivaccination
groups exist. Let me be very, very clear: they are wrong. Vaccines
save lives. Vaccines save millions of lives. And not just directly,
like they did by wiping out smallpox, a scourge that killed
hundreds of millions of people. But also, through herd immunity,
vaccines save infants too young to be vaccinated, the elderly with
weak immune systems, and people whose immune systems are
compromised due to chemotherapy, genetic issues, or because they
are taking immunosuppressants for other illnesses (like
arthritis).
