    It is true that vaccines can have rare adverse effects. That’s why we have clinical trials and experts evaluate if the benefits massively outweigh the risks. Vaccines are never really 100% safe, but always pretty damn close.

      And ultimately, the disease the vaccine prevents is much more dangerous than the side effects. Rare reactions can kill you, but measles is much more likely to.

      It’s like the people who refuse to wear seatbelts because they have the potential to harm you in an accident.
