Hi, I am Dawn Guzmann, and I grew up<br />

in a time where autism was the new medical<br />

condition to worry about, as more<br />

and more people were being diagnosed<br />

with autism than ever before. I have always<br />

believed in vaccinations, and I<br />

have always gotten them, as I know the<br />

value that they have for me and even<br />

other people. I received the vaccinations<br />

that contained everything from thimerosal<br />

to iron, even as an infant, and I am<br />

healther now because of it. People in my<br />

community were also resolute 38 on receiving<br />

vacccinations, so the effect that<br />

they had on curbing the spreading of<br />

diseases were great. Without the communities<br />

shared belief in the health benefits<br />

that come from vaccinations viruses<br />

and diseases would be wreaking havoc<br />

on the people, making everyone sick.<br />

Vaccinations work best when everyone<br />

gets them, and I also experienced this<br />

firsthand, as a town about 20 minutes<br />

out from ours who are discordant 39 with<br />

us on vaccines, and alleged 40 that they<br />

would only hurt them and do no good<br />

whatsoever to us. Although there was<br />

a modicum 41 handful of people who<br />

did receive vaccinations, and even they<br />

were counfounded 42 when they did not<br />

work for most of them. This is because<br />

the community does indeed play a role<br />

in whether or not someone is going to<br />

get a disease. They were not able to gain<br />

immmunity as there was an outbreak of<br />

the disease within the community. This is<br />

excactly the reason as to who I believe in<br />

vaccinations and explain the very same<br />

thing to my friends who do not believe in<br />

A Viewers Story<br />

vaccinations. The information throughout<br />

this magazine has helped me even further<br />

expand my knowledge that I had<br />

obtained from other sources before this,<br />

and solidified other information as truth<br />

by repeating it.<br />

My name is Kelly Conniff, and I am someone<br />

that whishes that this magazine were<br />

to have come out years ago, because I<br />

feel that it could have caused me to go<br />

through a lot less pain and suffereing as<br />

I was deterred 43 from getting vaccinated.<br />

As I grew up, I was not lucky enough to<br />

have parents that were educated enough<br />

in vaccination areas, and nor could they<br />

afford them at times. If they knew what<br />

information I have now, I know that many<br />

of the diseases that I suffered through as<br />

a child would not have been because of<br />

vaccinations. My parents thought that<br />

they were bad for us so they stayed<br />

away from them at all costs. Because of<br />

this magazine, I am spreading the word<br />

of the benefits of vaccines, and am vaccinating<br />

my children whenever a new one<br />

comes out. I would do anything for my<br />

children, and giving them these vaccinations<br />

allows for them to live a much happier<br />

and healthier life that is almost 100%<br />

disease free. I am now aware of the time<br />

and effort that goes into perfecting the<br />

design of each vaccine so that they are<br />

the most effective that they can be and<br />

so that they do not cause the person who<br />

is receiving the vaccine to become sick.<br />
