Risk analysis? If you have an outbreak and you want to stop it, doing statistics on risk/benefit is best left to the same prof's who are paid to pontificate (while the rest of us are ACTUALLY on the front line of the effort). If you want to withhold a life-saving vaccine from your family, be my guest. You'll just need to sign a waiver in our office (waiving us from any future litigation when you realize all too late that you "chose poorly".)
If you want to withhold a life-saving vaccine from your family, be my guest.You missed the point of my question, avoided answering it, and used it to grandstand. How dare you suggest that I would want anything but the best for my family? How dare you!
The point still remains that we do not yet have an outbreak, the vaccine can be given *after* one starts and still prevent the disease, and some children will die from the vaccine.
I'm having my doubts that any thoughtful physician would respond to a sincere question as you have.
