Essay / Vaccines - 900
In Racheal Opielski's essay “Should Vaccines Be Mandatory?” ", Opielski's main argument for why someone should be vaccinated is the sudden nature of the spread of epidemics. (quote) Opielski therefore believes that to ensure people are protected, compulsory vaccinations must be put in place. However, in a pandemic, vaccines often do not have time to be vigorously tested and tested, making them more dangerous. For example, every year a new flu vaccine is created because the virus changes and becomes different every year.
