I know smart people,
Who don’t support
Vaccinations.
Because the vaccine their child,
Their neighbor’s child,
Or a kid in the neighborhood
Was followed by the flu,
Or acting finicky,
Shortly after the vaccinations.
Can you say, coincidence?
Because, correlation,
ISN’T CAUSATION
And, the ability to avoid measles, mumps, tetanus, rubella,
And so many other diseases,
Are worth avoiding
With a simple poke.
But my words may mean little,
So.
I head to my doctor,
And get myself vaccinated.
In the hope that my actions speak loudly
Enough that everyone can hear the truth.
