I am interested in this research question because I am a nursing major. Being a nursing major you care about the health and well being of everyone around you. Vaccinations are one of those things that help keep people healthy and alive. Also, I have seen the debate on the news and other media like the internet and it really intrigued me because I did not think people would want to put themselves at risk for such terrible diseases. I was curious to see why people would want to rely on other people being vaccinated so they did not have to be. This research question supports my values and thoughts of being vaccinated. Vaccination can prevent deadly diseases in children, teens, and adults. I was vaccinated as a child and I thought that everyone had to be vaccinated. I did not think there was a choice to refuse a vaccination that could help save your life from a deadly disease. I am qualified to write about this research question because I have been vaccinated and I am still alive and breathing. I have never caught anything I have been vaccinated for. I know first hand the benefits of being vaccinated.

In the article the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases informed the audience about vaccines and how they work and what can happen if people do or do not vaccinate themselves. If people do vaccinate themselves, they can prevent themselves from catching a virus or disease. If people do not get vaccinated, then the disease can reappear and more people can get it. 

This article focuses on the main objective which is how vaccines work in order to prevent the disease or reduce the contagious period. It tells the reader how the vaccine works with the body to fight the virus. It also shows the audience how being vaccinated and unvaccinated affects the whole population.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases are credible because their job is to research different diseases and make their findings known to the public. Their research leads to new vaccines, tests, and different technology that is used to better the health of people. They give the audience a general overview of vaccines and more information in order for them to make a decision on their view of vaccinations.

In the article, "People Should Not Be Allowed to Refuse Vaccination", Ronald Bailey argues that the refusal of vaccinations against infectious diseases should not be an option. He shows how the death rates and hospitalizations have decreased since vaccinations for many diseases have been developed. And he also touches upon how many people have been infected due to others who were intentionally unvaccinated. He claims that people who do not vaccinate themselves are "Free-riders". They expect that everyone else has been vaccinated so they cannot get the disease. But when too many people think that way the diseases can reappear and everyone is more susceptible to the disease.

The focus of this article is only on one aspect that people should be vaccinated. He does not describe how a vaccine works inside the body, but he shows how vaccines have decreased the death and hospitalization numbers of people with infectious diseases. He wants the audience to make sure they and others around them are vaccinated because it can make the world a safer place.

The author is Ronald Bailey, who writes for Reason Magazine for the science and technology column. He is credible because his work is published in a magazine. This means that he has done his research in order to bring an article into a magazine that can be seen by the public people. This argumentative genre effects the article because it shows what his view of the vaccine debate is. He only says what he feels is the right thing and he uses statistics to back up his views to make the audience to agree with him.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention article shows the audience some of the most common deadly diseases people are vaccinated for. They specifically show statistics for each vaccine, chicken pox, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis, etc. and how each of these vaccine lowered the death, disability, and hospitalization rate. 

This article focuses on why people should be vaccinated and how the vaccinations are very successful in preventing and lowering the injury and death rates that could be associated with deadly diseases. It presents many statistics that support its claim for vaccinations. It shows the audience the benefit of vaccines and makes them want to get vaccinated.

The author of this source is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Their job is to protect the public from the deadly diseases that are out there. They do the research and devote their lives to help people live a happy and healthy life. They want to reduce the death rate and disability rate as much as they can. Their obvious perspective is to persuade the public to vaccinate themselves in order to keep the whole world a safe and healthy place.

This research question is arguable because people can find evidence that could show that vaccines do not help prevent deadly diseases. The evidence could show that more people have died because of vaccines or people's morals and values go against being vaccinated. The sources I have found all support the fact that vaccines prevent deadly diseases and keep people alive. The more informative articles allow me to see what exactly the vaccine does when it is injected into your body. This makes my perspective on vaccines stronger and more concrete. I may need to revise my research question by finding another source that opposes vaccination.
