To The Daily Sun,

Small pox and polio are both caused by viruses. Just for clarification and to share some facts to those who confuse facts with opinions, here is a list of diseases people are commonly vaccinated against and whether they are viral or bacterial. Yes, I got the information from the internet (insert shocked face emoji here), but rather than YouTube, I went to the Mayo Clinic's website:

  • Diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis — bacteria
  • COVID-19 — virus
  • Small pox — virus
  • Haemophilus influenza type B — virus
  • Hepatitis A — virus
  • Hepatitis B — virus
  • Human papilloma virus — virus
  • Influenza — virus
  • Meningococcal — bacteria
  • Measles, mumps and rubella — viral
  • Pneumococcal — bacteria
  • Polio — virus
  • Rotavirus — virus
  • Varicella (chickenpox) — virus

Yours in education,
