Illnesses killing non-vaccinated people is a health hazard to the innocent. People who can't get vaccines (too young, too sick, immunocompromised) rely on herd immunity to protect them. People who can get vaccines but don't endanger those who can't get vaccines. They also put a unneeded strain on the medical system. We also have the power to eliminate some illnesses completely so that vaccines are no longer needed in the future generations. We've done this with smallpox and we are close with polio. As far as "safe/unsafe," that's disingenuous, there's no such thing - no medical intervention is completely without risk, but we know that the benefits of vaccines on the marketplace today unequivocally outweigh the (very minor) risks for the vast majority of healthy people.
