The government is considering administering an anthrax vaccination to our children. Already administered to certain groups of soldiers, it is suggested that this vaccine could help prevent the spread of disease in case of attack. Various groups are currently assessing the need and potential risks of mandating an anthrax vaccine.
Nationwide, the debate has arisen over whether to test the effectiveness of this anthrax vaccine or wait to administer treatment after an attack. Obviously, being prepared in advance for this type of infection would be better, but at what cost? Is the anthrax vaccination necessary for our children, and though it's a dormant strain, would it put them at risk of infection? These are the questions that officials have to answer.
Contrarily, is it worth risking our children's health if an anthrax vaccination could save their lives in the event of biological attack? Anthrax is considered one of the most likely biological agents to be used in an attack because it is potent and easily reproduced. If this is the case, it may be worth experimenting on a few lives to save the many.
Now is the time for the people to voice their opinion on an anthrax vaccination. These are our children, this is our future. Would you recommend administering vaccinations at the risk of your child contracting disease? Are the lives of a few worth the safety of our nation? Or, are we putting the cart before the horse?
