How about you telling a mother of a child who died from Hib meningitis 
that the Hib vaccine is dangerous?

The fact is that there is risk in everything we do. Vaccines and 
refusing to get vaccines is no different.

The risk from vaccines is far less than the risk of the diseases they 
prevent.

Unfortunately, your emotional argument will convince some parents not to 
vaccinate their kids. Sadly, those kids are more likely to get very 
serious illnesses.
