I don't really care whether the mortality rate is 10%, 30% or 50%. Those are not good odds when weighed against a vaccine with a mortality rate in the range of 1 in a million.

That's one in a million for the old vaccine given 30 years ago. It is quite possible that modern antiviral drugs developed to fight AIDS and other diseases might be able to drastically reduce that mortality rate. Unfortunately such treatments have not been tested in humans. The rate for revaccinations was more like one in four million.
