Anti-vaxxers are among the top 10 health threats facing the world in 2019, the World Health Organization says.
The movement against vaccinations has taken hold in a number of countries, including the United States. The percentage of American children aged 19 to 35 months who have not been vaccinated has quadrupled since 2001, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, Newsweek reported.
A growing number of people in many U.S. states are anti-vaccination, according to a recent study in the journal PLoS One.
"Since 2009, the number of 'philosophical-belief' vaccine non-medical exemptions has risen in 12 of the 18 states that currently allow this policy: Arkansas, Arizona, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Utah," the study authors wrote, Newsweek reported.

Well guys they finally did it! The Anti-Vaxxers have grown in numbers and now WHO is finally seeing them as a threat to global which is a good thing in my opinion. These Anti-Vaxxers are a real threat to the entire population.
Thanks to them influenza and measles are now common epidemics within the United States when years ago they weren't that big of a problem. Honestly I think its stupid that the Anti-Vaxxers would risk their child's life and the entire community just because they believe vaccines can cause "autism" even though doctors have been studying vaccines for years now and there is no proof of vaccines causing autism.
Besides being autistic is alot better than suffering from a virus that can easily be prevented with a vaccine.
Now that I have said my opinion on this matter, what do you have to say NSG? About the growing numbers of Anti-Vaxxers?
Do you agree with WHO or with the Anti-Vaxxers?
