Author’s Note- I feel that this draft is still in limbo with where it goes, and needs more time to be thought upon to fill in the blanks. I have found many sources, but am having trouble not making it too opinionated or an argument. I love the idea of the wolf and how it influences the paper. I want to keep this idea alive to tie the paper together. The paper is in a very raw form, and I’m working to avoid my typical delete and restart style. While this draft is short, I feel like most of the words have a specific purpose and I can build on it with clarification. I seek to gain help in this writing. I think I have a good start and just need to build on it day by day and groom it and elaborate on it to its best potential. I have outlined some ideas already, but need to incorporate properly.

Are vaccines worse for you? This seems to be a question that almost every person wakes up to the next morning after the annual flu shot when you arm is sore and you feel a bit rundown. So, are vaccines protecting you from the BIG bad wolf (diseases, flu, viruses, etc.)?
Write about the modern marvel and medical advances of the vaccine.
Vaccines today surround us. You go to your local pharmacy, and you see signs “have you had the flu vaccine?” or “get yours today, here.” Some people have chosen not to get vaccinated and that number is significantly lower than the people who chose to get vaccinated. People have their own reasons why they may not get vaccinated, and each on differs in thought process. Misconceptions about vaccinations play a role in the reasoning behind why people choose not to get vaccinated. Some believe that the immune system can go into system overload when you get a vaccine. By this they believe that a child can receive too many vaccines at once and it causes the body to have bad side effects. Instead of protecting yourself you end up hurting yourself more than getting the vaccine. (1, 1) The unvaccinated may oppose a vaccine, because the disease no longer affects the United States, like the measles. (1, 1) Others believe that nutrition and hygiene were the root cause, and now we have improved so much as a society that these diseases no longer exist. (1, 1) Vaccinations do have some effects that people have seen over the years, and they choose what works best for them and make the choice to vaccinate or not vaccinate.
(Go into more depth in this paragraph or another about the reasons why people choose not to vaccinate)
Vaccines and autism still continue to be a huge debate. The reason why is a British Researcher, Andrew Wakefiled, published stories in The Lancet about the kids who got autism from the MMR vaccine. This information caused thousands to go unvaccinated, because of this publishing. Studies were performed on kids with MMR vaccine and kids without; they found that it is the same percentage of people with autism. (5, 1) It has scientifically been proven that it does not cause autism, but it still causes controversy. Some people still choose not to vaccinate, because of this reason. The cause of autism has been found to be highly genetic, but the idea of not knowing exactly what causes autism is still very scary to parents. They will take every precaution to prevent this happening to their child. (6, 1) (Find a way to tie this in, because is very important to controversy)
But now, there is a trend beginning in the United States, and that is beginning to happen as seen in the recent New York case with schools not allowing for unvaccinated children to attend. It was brought up in federal court, and the court ruled for the schools. (2, 1) (Details on this case) It was ruled this way for the protection of public health. Is the vaccine the wolf itself or is it the viruses and diseases they protect against? The wolf is the controversy and disruption it is creating or the disease or the vaccine itself. In Europe, the wolf is defined clearly the diseases, flu, and viruses. The vaccinations in Europe are highly recommended and seen as the cheapest way to battle disease it to prevent it with vaccinate. France however has made legal consequences, and Italy has made certain vaccines compulsory. (details on the case) (3, 1) Will the United States make certain immunizations compulsory in time or sooner than we may think? The wolf is still being sorted out in the United States. The United States is taking the point of educating people why vaccines are so important, and how easy you can prevent a disease with a modern weapon. The facts and rates of how successful vaccines actually are. (Insert data and facts from the tables.) (4, 1)
Go into depth about why a person cannot get vaccinated.
One unvaccinated person can effect a whole community. Someone who is unvaccinated for an a disease or virus goes to an infected area, and brings it back. What happens to the community with a herd community. Those who cannot get vaccinated are at a high risk, as well as the herd community. The herd will be better protected, but the vaccine is to prevent the occurring of what they intend to protect against. So by not getting vaccinated, because you may have a speculation. Science has a schedule for vaccines that has been researched for years and designed to protect people. Governments would not be promoting vaccines if they did not believe they were for the general population’s public safety.
The whole idea of vaccinations is the creation of a herd community. This herd community is part of community that is fully vaccinated towards the wolves of the world. (Go into deeper depth with the herd community) Therefore, people who cannot get vaccinated due to disease, health, or age can be protected. The best way to understand the way this works is a herd of bison (vaccinated population) with calves (unvaccinated population). Then, a pack of wolves (diseases) start to attack the herd, but the grown bison protect the calves in the middle. Therefore, limited bison die if any.
So, what happens if you had left a whole bunch of calves with a few bison? While you go run your errands and continue through your day. You cannot create a formation to defend the population of calves with a small amount of fully-grown bison from the wolves. The calves and the population go down drastically. (This could potentially be a conclusion, but needs something before or after)
First off, if you’ve recently completed a rough draft (via NaNoWriMo or otherwise), congratulations. Really. A big, whooping, stand-up, slow-clap congrats.
Writing a book’s rough draft is a big feat, and you’ve just taken the first, most important step toward finishing your book—one that can take a lot of late nights, early mornings, blood, sweat, tears… you name it.
Loopback 1 1 5 – route audio between applications. It’s a big deal to finish that rough draft of your book, so give yourself your props.
But then it’s time to get down to business again, because rough drafts are called “rough” for a reason.
Your Rough Draft Is Not Your Final Draft
Now is the time to take a more critical eye to your story and to make the most of all that rich potential it’s holding.

A rough draft can be overwhelming.
If you’re anything like me, your first instinct might be to hide it away in a drawer (or obscure hidden computer folder) and never look at that hot mess again.
Don’t do that! There’s bound to be a lot of good writing in that draft. It just takes work to bring your rough draft to its full, final draft potential.

4 Steps to Take After You Finish Your Rough Draft
Here are four steps you should follow after you finish your rough draft:
1. Read through the full draft
Now that you’ve gotten the words out, you’ve got to suck it up and read through them all.
It can be hard to go back and face your own first stab at a story, but odds are it’s not nearly as bad as you think.
Reading through your draft is important so you can take in the big picture of what you’ve written. As you read, consider what you want to change, and also what you like as is.
2. Find what needs to be developed more
Cut yourself some slack—a full rough draft is already a lot to pound out all at once. But odds are that there’s some room in your setting, characters or plot for some richer development.
Hopefully you identified these elements while re-reading the draft. Delving deeper to flesh them out is a perfect first step for your next draft—understanding these elements will serve as a foundation as you work through everything else.
3. Identify your plot threads
Your main plot is probably mostly ironed out, but what about your supporting plot threads? Are there enough of them? Too many? Do they all have a proper arc of beginning, middle end? Are they all relevant, offering something that drives the core plot of the story forward?
Think through what to cut, add, flesh out in your plot threads. Make the tough calls about what to keep, what to nix and what to change or flesh out more.
4. Back to the beginning
Go back to the beginning of your story again, but this time, bring your writer’s cap with you. Start with the biggest things (the ones we identified in the last two steps) and work your way down to the small.
It can be tempting to start off by changing the easy things that will clean it up quickly, like running spell check or correcting little inconsistencies.
But don’t do that—they may feel satisfying but they’re purely cosmetic, and you’ll likely have to go back through a lot of it with your big changes anyway, so you’re really just procrastinating.

Take your time with this, don’t be afraid to skip around to stay on topic as you address various points. And most of all, don’t be afraid to get messy.
A Rough Draft is What You Make It
A rough draft is a major accomplishment. But once you finally see this first step through, it can be hard to know where to go next
You’ve just got to dive right back in—and remember, the gaps and mistakes you catch when you go back through don’t mean you’re not a good writer. Every rough draft is ugly. It’s because it’s a first draft, not a final draft. Use it for what it—a foundation—and build from it to get your story to its full potential.
