What does everyone think of the debate over the safety of vaccines? There is a public forum being held (see: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/11/health/policy/11vaccine.html?_r=1&ref=health&oref=slogin) and I was wondering how the AllHealthCare members felt on the issue.

It is true that a lot of vaccines have considerable secondary effects; however, it is important to keep in mind the effect that many have had on preventing further outbreaks of very virulent viruses. I believe that the vaccine phenomena is much like many other modern ones where advantages and disadvantages seem to blur our vision of good versus bad.
