Here's an example where vaccines cause harm: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2012/09/10/flu-shot-pandemic.html http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2012/09... By and large though, vaccines are amazing. Just the fact that we have a vaccine which can protect against influenza is pretty fantastic. Life unfortunately always throws you spanners, so even though I think the people who live in the vaccine autism universe are bat shit crazy, it's still good to have people taking both sides of the issue. This is despite how freaking frustrating it can be when one side is arguing with opinion and the other is arguing with facts.

Both sides of the issue with evidence. Yours is the first I've read here. Most people, most discussions involving vaccinations don't come close to sensibility.

Well it's still possible to be pro-vaccine in general but against a specific vaccine that does not hold up its end of the risk/reward bargain. There aren't simply two sides where 1 is always pro-vaccine and the other is always quoting Wakefield.

  Absolutely. I wasn't trying to paint it as a black and white argument at all, and in fact, quite the contrary. The people who are against vaccinations are mostly idiots, however, scientists are not infallible. Sometimes they lapse into politics too.
