  The first paragraph answers your question: > Vaccines save lives by preventing disease. > Most people who get vaccines have no serious problems. Vaccines, like any medicines, can cause side effects, but most are very rare and very mild. Some health problems that follow vaccinations are not caused by vaccines. > In very rare cases, a vaccine can cause a serious problem, such as a severe allergic reaction. Unequivocally safe and effective != risk free. Everything has risks, and yes, sometimes you need to compensate people. My house is safe, but I still have insurance.

    wouldn't "Unequivocally safe" imply risk free? ..or at least health risk free?
