JULY 13 — Imagine there’s no vaccines
It’s easy if you try
No protection for our children
Above us only infections
Imagine all the children
Living in disease...
Aha-ah...
Imagine there’s no measles jabs
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to protect us, we can only die
And no diphtheria protection, too
Imagine all the children
Living in disease...
You...
You may say I’m a dreamer wanting immunisation
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And all children will be protected as one
Imagine no diseases
I wonder if you can
No need for death or disability
Vaccines for all mankind
Imagine all the children
Living life to the full....
You...
You may say I’m a dreamer wanting immunisation
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And all children will be protected as one
With special thanks and the utmost respects to John Lennon for the beautiful original version.
Dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of Malaysian children who did not die or get disabled because vaccines protected them and the community.
