fully address the following prompt:
Vaccines have become a controversial topic, from celebrity-endorsed anti-vax groups to the now retracted paper from Dr. Wakefield in 1998 in the Lancet, claiming a link between vaccinations and autism. Vaccination rates have varied depending on the latest news or the state of the nation and the world. Many vaccine-preventable diseases that were either eradicated or quite rare are now creating outbreaks again. During our current COVID outbreak, vaccine rates are declining in young children as parents fear exposure in doctor’s offices.
Whooping cough, or pertussis, is one of these vaccine-preventable diseases that is making a comeback. Read the article “Low vaccination rates and ‘measles parties’ fueled 2019 measles outbreak in NYCLinks to an external site.” and discuss these recent outbreaks OR outbreaks from other vaccine-preventable diseases and the controversy surrounding this issue.
