Article 3: No More Hookworms!

 Hookworms are a deadly parasite. It is harmful to all humans, especially women and children. There is a trial coming up on whether or not US should send out vaccines to Africa to stop the spread of the parasite.
 I say that we should. Many kids infected with the Hookworm get anemia, stunted growth, learning problems and drains their blood. Not only for the children, but for the women as well. woman who are pregnant and can and most likely have the baby get infected as well.
 If we send the vaccines out, we help a lot of people. We can stop this parasite from spreading any further and resolve this problem for anyone  who has been infected by this Hookworm. Sending this Hookworm will not only help the locals out, but also help us out. we will be heroes to them and we will be able to get something out of it which is always good.
 So say yes to the Vaccine!
