Thats not the reason intelligent people don't immunize John but is an often used argument by the pro immunization lobby.OK, if not because of concern re risk, why wouldn't you immunize against Whooping cough, Rubella, Measles, Diphtheria, Pneumococcus, Polio, Hep B and the rest- and the latest being HPV strongly associated with cervical cancer?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
