My own kid was vaccine injured. Yes, it's the kid with autism. No, his injury was not autism. He had status epilepticus, uncontrolled days-long seizure episode requiring hospitalization. It is a rare but not at all unheard of side effect from DTAP.
Guess what dealing with it was a total nightmare, about 10% of which was the med issue and 90% of which was HOW COMPLETELY STUPID EVERYONE HAS BECOME ABOUT THIS STUFF.
Large scale policies always, always harm some people at the margin.
We literally ask those people to suck it up and deal, and for all of us to throw in with the lottery for the greater good.
That's how society works.
You don't have to make it worse by pretending that vaccines are perfect and that harm doesn't happen, however.
That turns a liberal society lottery into something more like Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery."
Calm down. Use brain. Stop flattening everything.
