Reasons Why Vaccinations Are Needed in Europe


 * 1) Vaccinations can protect people from lots of preventable diseases like: cholera, scarlet fever, syphilis, small pox, chicken pox, flu, diptheria, measles, meningitis, mumps, polio, rubella, tetanus, tuberculosis, whooping cough.
 * 2) Vaccinations make people's bodies resistant to disease by injecting a version of the virus into the body. The cells code that virus and then know how to fight it.
 * 3) They can protect people in all of Europe against diseases used in war (the indians could have used vaccinations against small pox when settlers gave them the diseased blankets in the early colonies if they had the technology)
 * 4) People in Europe will be able to live longer and healthier lives if they're immune to disease.
 * 5) There will be more people to be employed in European factories since there will be healthier living conditions with less disease.
 * 6) Europe's economy will better from more people therefore more workers, entrepeneurs, inventors, educators, and consumers.
 * 7) Not as many people will die from complications or preventable reasons like infection (see the list of diseases in number 1)
 * 8) Vaccinations could prevent a plague breakout in Europe like the Bubonic Plague. The effects of another plague would be unbelievably devastating to everyone.
 * 9) Vaccinations would create whole other industry: medical care. Another industry means more money for the economy, more money for the individual, more jobs like nurses, and a healthier world.
 * 10) And finally, without vaccines, there would be no need for public education or scientific research. Public education would be a waste of time and money because young people would die before they could use it. Also, to consider scientific research would be ridiculous because you could be saving lives with vaccinations.
