And it "might" not kill them and the vaccine could kill the person, 5 years, 10, or 50 years later, maybe reduce the life of the person that took the vaccine by 20 years. So who should die? We are talking about "mights" and "ifs" correct?

We aren't talking about "mights" and "ifs". We are talking about hard evidence.
Some vaccinations have (extremely uncommon) adverse side effects, and the reason they're still being used is that for any random individual, the risk removed by vaccination is far greater than the risk introduced by vaccination.
Vaccinations and antibiotics are the two main reasons life expectancy in the western world has risen dramatically over the past 100 years.
Know what killed more people than Hitler, Stalin and Mao combined in the 20th century? Smallpox. Several hundreds of millions of deaths in the 20th century alone. Know what eradicated it? That's right - vaccination.
Not taking vaccinations is like smoking to avoid the risks of obesity. A decidedly daft health strategy.
