Yah, props for mentioning, all to often it’s a question that goes unanswered in these discussions. I completely agree the pros outweigh the cons and it’s better to eradicate some of these diseases. I fear that a big reason some who choose to not vaccinate do so is because of the lack of transparency about vaccine injury. They have a family member or close acquaintance that experienced it firsthand and the public discussion around it is often toxic to the point it feels conspiratorial with people only pointing to the Wakefield study (which was garbage so doesn’t help either side). Researching it without a great understanding of it can return a lot of confirmation bias too.
There are very rare side effects. It’s still safer to get vaccinated and not die of communicable disease though.
