Topic: Vaccines 

Organization pattern: Refutation 

General Purpose: Those that are vaccinated are less likely to spread the infections or diseases

Goal: To persuade people to get vaccinated 

My audience: Ages 18-40

Proposition of Fact: Reports from CDC shows people without vaccines are more likely to become infected and spread the diseases compared to those that are vaccinated.

Attention Getter

Imagine being in the Titanic ship when it was sinking many years ago. The ship captain decided to use the rescue boats to rescue people starting with women and children. The people who got on the rescue boats and got to the shore were saved. However, the rescue boats were not enough hence not everyone was saved. Many people died that day by drowning. Everybody tried as much as they could to get on the rescue boats. The rescue boats in this case are the vaccines which are made to prevent people from getting infected by various diseases. If the rescue boats would have been many and readily available, we would not have lost as many people as we did then. Just like in the Titanic, people who are not vaccinated are more likely to become infected and spread the diseases compared to those that are vaccinated. 

Preposition Statement

The vaccines to most diseases are easily available and therefore nobody should have an excuse for not getting vaccinated to prevent deadly diseases. People who are not vaccinated are more likely to become infected and spread the diseases compared to those that are vaccinated. 

Credibility Material

The research is based on studies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on people in Kentucky (Karlsson et al., 2021). The research proved that those vaccinated did not get COVID-19 and if they did they got well faster. Those who were not vaccinated suffered fatalities and hospitalization with very severe conditions

Relevance to Audience

Most people from the ages of 18 to 40 are highly active and have strong immune systems (Karlsson et al., 2021). This is unlike the children who are below 18 and the adults who are above 40. In the event these individuals with ages between 18 and 40 contract a disease they are more likely to spread it to those with weaker immune systems. Those of the ages 18 to 40 have higher chances of surviving the disease. They should therefore be more vigilant in getting vaccinated.

Thesis Statement

The purpose of this speech is to show the importance of vaccination especially to those from the ages of 18 to 40 years.

Preview Statement

The following are examples and proof that unvaccinated people are more likely to get and spread diseases compared to vaccinated people based on CDC research (Karlsson et al., 2021).

Transition

I will start by explaining why there are people who get infected after vaccination just like people who did not get vaccinated (Orenstein & Ahmed, 2018).

Secondly, I will explain a research done by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 infections in Kentucky among individuals who had previously contracted COVID-19 (Karlsson et al., 2021).

Thirdly, I will discuss how the findings further demonstrate that COVID-19 vaccines provide additional safety to natural resistance alone and that vaccination, especially in cases of previous infection, aid in preventing re-infections.

Finally, I will highlight the benefits of people of ages between 18 and 40 getting vaccinated (Orenstein & Ahmed, 2018).
