'''Vaccination''' is the [[injection]] of a dead or weakened infectious organism in order to prevent the [[disease]].<ref>https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/about/terms/glossary.htm#v</ref> This limited exposure to the pathogen is intended to cause the patient's body to react and create antibodies, but not actually become ill. In the United States and throughout the modern world, some parents routinely get their children [[vaccine|vaccinated]] to ward off measles and several other diseases which most people in the 21st century have never heard of.

Disease such as [[polio]] and [[smallpox]], major causes of death and suffering in the past, have been eliminated from the developed world through mass vaccination.. Measles has recently begun to return because some children have not been vaccinated.

Often cases vaccinations have adverse side effects. Particularly new and untested vaccinations tend to be unpopular, and controversies have developed over whether the government has the right to vaccinate schoolchildren against the parents' wishes.

Some people are hesitant to take them due to toxins and unhealthy substances which are in vaccines.  Some contain some of what seem to be the strangest ingredients, such as [[Monosodium Glutamate]] (classified as an [[Excitotoxin]]), [[aspartame]] (artificial sweetener), [[formaldehyde]], and aborted human fetal tissue (for diploid cells, etc.) <ref>Hull, Janet.
