Anti-vaccine organizations

Anti-vaccine organizations are groups that oppose or question the safety, necessity, and effectiveness of vaccines. They often spread misinformation, highlighting perceived risks and downplaying scientific evidence confirming vaccines' role in preventing disease. These organizations may promote alternative health beliefs and argue that vaccines can cause side effects or long-term health issues. While they often cite personal stories and anecdotal evidence, their claims are usually not supported by rigorous scientific research. Their influence can lead to lower vaccination rates, increasing the risk of outbreaks of preventable diseases within communities.
