The problem is that the “crippling disease or worse” that you site, is often a result of vaccine side effects. And when it occurs, which isn’t often I do admit, it is typically very severe and life changing (or life ending).
I don’t blame the vaccines I had as a child for my poor grammer, its just poor editing skills.
“I dont blame the vaccines I had as a child for my poor grammer, its just poor editing skills”
I’m just teasing about that.......I got your point...but maybe vaccines cause spelling errors???.
Your point about side-effects is one worth discussing. Complications for, for instance, the polio vaccine are vanishingly small, but the complications for getting the disease are common enough to create a huge societal burden.
To worry about something bad that risks one in a million, so you subject yourelf to something just as bad that risks one in a thousand is just plain ignorance.
