  • I will take a 1 in 10 million risk of having a bad side affect from a vaccine compared with the 1 in 100 or even 1 in 1000 chance of bad side effects from something like tetanus, measles, chicken pox, etc.

    We also don’t give vaccines to everyone. If someone is at a higher risk of having negative side effects, they do not necessarily get the one they will have a reaction to. For instance, my wife is on immunosuppresants and was never able to receive the MMR vaccine because it uses a live attenuated form of the viruses and she would likely get a full blown case of each. But that also puts her at severe risk when there is some numb nuts in the area who didn’t get vaccinated because “they did their research” and came to a wrong conclusion that vaccines are super harmful and cause autism and mercury poisoning and have government trackers in them but then end up getting a case of the measles and spreading it to dozens of people.
