Vaccines are not safe, it's just often a better alternative to getting sick with something nasty, but if you're not in danger of catching it taking a vaccine is fucking stupid and damaging.
@MartinTheFirst No, your position is fucking stupid if "[getting a vaccine] is...a better alternative to getting...something nasty"...which actually IS the point.

We have vaccines to prevent illnesses which used to kill many, vaccines to prevent cancers, vaccines to stop shingles...

How about tetanus?
Want to get polio?

@SomeMichGuy are you retarded or did you misread what both I said and you just wrote down to quote?
@MartinTheFirst No, but thanks for making the inverse point with your [i]ad hominem.[/i]

You started with
[quote]Vaccines are not safe[/quote]
which is bullshit, when taken at face value.

One often does not know whether or not one is "in danger of catching" something.

I've met a guy who was one of the last ppl in the US to catch polio--not pretty. The HPV vaccine helps prevent some cancers--not a bad thing. Hepatitus vaccines aren't stupid, since you might be exposed to that. Shingles is not only really REALLY annoying, for months, it can get in some very bad places (notably, an eye), and can have aftereffects. Tetanus is also not desirable.

These are all good to prevent.

[/quote] Oo you make big points, big boi

keep heartin your own comments cuz that's all you gonna get from this kind of argument
@MartinTheFirst

I might as well get THAT, because you have no responses other than [i]ad hominem[/i] attacks ("boi", etc.) & assertions which run counter to actual experts but which are unsupported by evidence.

It you think being vaccinated against polio, tetanus, measles, HPV, hepatitis, encephalitis...is stupid, you are a Luddite.

Odd, because you depend upon a highly developed set of technologies to interact on this platform...
