One map sums up the damage caused by the anti-vaccination movement

June 29, 2015 12:02 pm

Vaccinations are one of the of most incredible aspects of modern medicine. Recently, for reasons that are not based on science or logic, many parents have outspokenly rejected vaccinating their children. Unfortunately, this has caused a reemergence of easily managed diseases. The Council on Foreign Relations has released an interactive map detailing the catastrophic outcome of these poor choices.

The interactive map gives a gut-wrenching tour of global outbreaks of measles, mumps, rubella, polio, and whooping cough from 2008-2014

LPS-BioSciences R&D project aims at developing a novel class of adjuvants to reduce side effects of vaccination due to the use of alum
