It doesn't have to be all or nothing. I don't usually agree with tallest shill but he raises a good point that we should have higher standards for vaccines, and they shouldn't be treated as a harmless thing that you can give people any number of without any adverse effects.

I don't think that many people think there is no possibility of adverse effects. They literally give you a pamphlet outlining all the potential adverse effects when you go in for vaccination. So at that point it becomes a question of likelihood, and if you're considerably more likely to develop polio (or anything else) without a vaccine than you are to develop autism (or anything else) with a vaccine, then there shouldn't really be much debate about the issue. Especially since autism isn't contagious.
