The channel kurzgesagt produced a new video, this time regarding vaccines. A topic which is now on the rise again thanks to the misinformation from Anti-Vaccines campaigns and such.
It’s so damn sad to see the numbers of children getting killed and harmed by measles and other diseases, which actually have a vaccination available.
From my point of view it’s not understandable why people are just so clinging to some gut feeling and misinformation to protect their skewed view on one of the most useful options to get rid of diseases. Measles were on the brink of extinction thanks to a high number of vaccinations, but they are now back full and still really dangerous.
It’s not a surprise that the WHO listed the vaccine hesitancy as one threat to global health in 2019.
Global health. Not some small issue, that’s for sure.
Another hefty example is the HPV vaccination in Japan:

It’s almost by zero by now, just to some misinformation and campaigns against studies and facts. There will be serious problems of cancer for women down the line just because of that, easily avoidable with that kind of vaccine.
I hope that in the future the handling with vaccination are based more on facts and studies.
Peoples’ lives depend on it!
