Westminster Pediatrician: Vaccines Save Lives, Eradicate Epidemics


Amid the loud cries of "anti-vaxxers," more Americans see vaccines as their best shot (literally and figuratively) in thwarting today's deadly diseases, according to a recent poll. HealthDay, with the help of New York-based market research firm Harris Interactive, surveyed over 2,000 adults, and found that 87 percent said vaccines are very safe. This is 10 percentage points up from 77 percent in July 2014. Political affiliation had little bearing on their answers, as most Republicans, Democrats, and independents responded in similar fashion to the question. Vaccine skeptics remain but have dropped to 2 percent from 5 percent in July 2014. Similar to the "very safe" group, political affiliation had little bearing on their answers.
