Audience Analysis

Target Audience: Young, “vaccine-hesistant” parents.

Demographics: Mostly white/various economic statuses/more traditional religious and political values

Their View Point: Parents should decide for themselves if they are to have their children vaccinated.

Their Argument: Vaccines put children at risk for autism – that is why there are so many more autistic children. So, parents should decide – not governments.

My View Point: Vaccinating children is what keeps them safe from measles, mumps, small pox, etc.

My Argument: The reason there are more people diagnosed and being treated for autism is that the clinical definition for what counts as autism has expanded. The number of people suffering from autism has not grown.
