    Millions of tax dollars are spent annually to shelter and care for stray, abandoned and unwanted pets. Human health is threatened by the danger of transmittable diseases (including rabies), animal bites and attacks. Shelters do their best to place animals in loving homes, but the number of homeless animals far exceeds the number of willing adopters. This leaves many loving and healthy animals in our community that are homeless and abandoned. Spaying and neutering a larger population of animals is critical in helping our community to control the pet population and spread of…

    A lot of diseases, such as Polio, that were common just in the past might come back if parents skip their child vaccination. Prior to the availability of measles vaccine, between 3 to 4 million patients are diagnosed to have measles each year. This large number has been reduced 95% due to the creation of measles vaccine (Parents of Kids with Infectious Diseases, 2017). If the majority of parents stopped vaccinating the children, rare disease might overcome again and the quality of health will decrease. Moreover, since vaccine-preventable diseases are not widely spread and common in developed countries such as, U.S, increasing number of parents skip the vaccination ignoring the fact that these diseases are in developing countries and might break through to reach developed society.…

Another way to explain a vaccination is that it is a weak form of a bacterial introduced into a child’s body in order to introduce him/her to that the disease that contains that certain bacterium.…

    Health care affects us all whether we like it or not. Health care is a very controversial topic because many are not happy with the new “Obama care” coverage due to the fact that it requires state funding. Some tax payers do not feel they should be responsible for paying for people who need health coverage. Individuals that go long periods of time without regular check-ups are at risk for medical conditions that require serious extensive medical treatment. Personally, I believe that everyone should have affordable health care coverage.…

    The fact that there is a debate on whether health care is a right of every American or not is just astonishing. How is it that there are people deciding whether other human beings should have rights? What makes those people who are deciding the “worthy” ones?

Why are some people considered less than others just because of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion?…

Infectious diseases that once were common in this country have been brought under control or eliminated completely. The list is long, including polio, measles, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), rubella (German measles), mumps, tetanus, and influenza. Perhaps one of the most devastating diseases in history was smallpox, which is almost unheard of now, thanks to a vaccine.…
