An elderly friend of my mums died shortly after the illness that was triggered by his vaccinations he received as he was travelling to India. He never made the journey
Certain genotypes are more susceptible to vaccine injury.
Poor immunity in children may also result in harm
All doubtful or unquantified risks arguing against immunisation. They definitely should factor in a decision whether to vaccinate or not, but compared to the reduction in risk most vaccines represent they come nowhere near representing a valid argument.
And if the reason to vaccinate is to eliminate a particular threat then widespread refusal defeats the purpose. Smallpox is the only one we've nailed, which is a pretty poor record given the resources that could be applied and the consequences of allowing our parasitic baggage to survive.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
