There really aren't any controversial issues in regards to the vaccine.

Vaccines are not infallible, magical cures and never have been.

The side effects of vaccines affect a very small percentage of people, but yes the possibility always exists that a vaccine may cause a bad reaction. I get the flu vaccine for work and have definitely gotten sick from it before. This is nothing new. Vaccines are not new.

The science on infection and morbidity around the vaccinated and unvaccinated is very clearly in favor of vaccination.

People can and will do what they want but there simply is not a "controversy" over the science, at all.


Yes, you may be trapped by a seatbelt in a burning car but in all likelihood, you won't.

But sure, let's all get measles and polio again!

The only controversy here is how much people should be compelled to sacrifice their personal autonomy for the greater good of the community. Which is a reasonable discussion to have but falls in the realm of ethics and philosophy, not science and medicine.
