Anti-Vaxxers Letting the Monster Free

 Sack cartoon: Anti-vaccine movement
     This cartoon shows that anti-vaccine parents are opening the gates to let the monsters of measles, polio, whooping cough, and others free to terrorize the population. To keep these monsters contained, vaccines are the fence posts and together they create a cage to keep diseases away.
     I really like using cartoons because they are interesting to look at and they make you think. This one in particular really shows what anti-vaxxers are doing, which is setting preventable diseases free.

Vaccine Cartoon

 Mike Keefe Editorial Cartoon   
     For this blog post I didn't read an article, but found a cartoon on anti-vaccine parents. This illustration shows that not vaccinating your children can negatively impact your child by making them sick. It's supposed to be humorous but when it all comes down to it, it shows that this is harmful for your child.
     I like to use other sources rather than just articles because it gives people something visual to look at. It also puts the concept into a joking matter, but one that people can understand.

Come Aboard the Magic School Bus

     I recently watched a little video clip of the magic school bus with anti-vaccine parents aboard.  It was actually pretty funny. The teacher told the parents that their children were not allowed to come to school so she showed them how vaccines work inside of the body. As it was happening "right outside their windows", the parents still voiced their concerns and the teacher let them know that they shouldn't be concerned.
     I probably won't use this video in my research project but it was funny to watch. It made the whole concept seem really simple which is easy for everyone to understand.
