Movement Anti-vaccines

Abstract

The "anti-vaccines" movement can be defined as a group of people who for different reasons (health, religious, scientific, political, philosophical) believe that vaccines and the act of getting vaccinated pose a greater risk to their health than the possible "benefit" they can contribute, spreading it through social networks, which nowadays are an easily accessible tool to share information of all kinds, including one that does not have an empirical-scientific foundation. The anti-vaccines movement is not homogeneous, since this
expression is usually used to refer to different groups that are located in different points of what we might call a positioning before vaccination, that is, the postulates in the radical opposition to all vaccines, for the refusal, in a temporary or permanent sense of the parents towards their children, to administer one or  several of the vaccines, for the damages derived from the vaccination " (Pareja, 2016)
