Persuasive Essay On Forced Vaccinations

A highly publicized and controversial subject in today’s society is the topic of forced vaccinations. The US government is constantly enacting and enforcing laws to force vaccinations on people, especially since the most recent measles outbreak in California. Many comparisons can be drawn between the themes in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to specific topics in today’s vaccination debate. These topics include man playing God, consequences on innocents, and a shade of lies behind the truth.

First, in Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein takes on the almighty role of God and brings the dead back to life. In the moment, Frankenstein had no restraint and did not see a problem with his limitless creation. “Learn from me, if not by my precepts, at least

What many do not know is that vaccine failure rates are greater than the 5% (Blaylock 3). Dr. Heib stated that “since 2005 there have been no deaths in the U.S. from measles. However there have been 86 deaths from the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, or MMR- 68 of them in children under 3 years old. And there were nearly 2,000 disabled” (Hieb 1).

The consequences of vaccinations are not only fatal, but they can also include the restriction of children’s liberty. If a child is unvaccinated, he or she may not be allowed to associate with others, or be in the same school, with the vaccinated. This fear of the unvaccinated is unwarranted. If vaccinations work, and one is fully protected by them, then why would the vaccinated be scared of the

In 2000 the U.S. declared that the measles was completely erased. If that was the case then what brought this disease back into America? The sole reason for the outbreak was illegal immigrants coming across the U.S.-Mexico border. The lack of laws on our borders allowed these people into our country. The same government that did not enforce our immigration laws is the same government that is pointing fingers at the parents of unvaccinated children. This government also helped and encouraged the flood of illegal border crossers and assisted their dispersal across the nation. There were no screenings on the arrivals for disease of any kind, nor proof of whether they were vaccinated or not. Just as the measles were brought into the US and forced upon the people, so were the creatures crimes upon the villagers in the town of Geneva. All in all, it may be hard to believe, but the measles outbreak started with our own government 's failed policies (Vilet
