The first time someone got sick or died that's you're excuse to say those vaccines are unsafe. You risk your life driving your car and eating food but you are against vaccinations because of "the risk". You're a nutter :D

I'm all for good science, the new ones would need to be tested for quite a while, you are right on that part. I originally specialized in statistics, so I look carefully to weigh risk against benefit.
If a vaccine can be proven with well-designed studies to bring a net health benefit, I'm up for it. The closest I'd get to accepting any of the current vaccines would be the single measles vaccine (not the triple), but it would only be in if I lived in the third world. I'm a healthy well nourished first-worlder, and I've had measles anyway so I have lifetime immunity.
