I edited a bit of information which wasnt entirely true and was plainly said: a bit dumb. I added my experiences and my knowledge of immunology to make this article look more scientific. I also read the claim of that vaccination stops the disease from spreading, which doesnt need any citation or source, because its plain logic that this is true. But epidemiologists dont do research on vaccinations, they use the data obtained from the research and try to place that information in a context of enviromental factors and groups which are most likely effected etc. etc.. The researches are the virologists. I also removed the not-verified tag, it looks good now. Greets, Dutch med student.
