Anti-Vaxxer Tries To Shut Down People Who Are Pro-Vaccine, Gets A Perfect Comeback

No one is saying that there isn't a minuscule incidence of complications, some of them severe, from vaccines, as with any beneficial medical treatment. But the frequency is incredibly rare, far more rare than the consequences of the diseases that the vaccines prevent. Prior to the introduction of vaccines and antibiotics, our life expectancy was 20-30 years less than it is now, and that isn't because we died at 40, it's because most humans didn't survive childhood. Now the leading causes of death have nothing to do with infectious disease in the developed world. 1 out of a 100,000 will have a reaction to vaccines, and most of those will be mild. I survived measles and mumps as a child, genital warts and shingles as an adult. You bet I get vaccines at every opportunity.
