Jed, where are you getting your statistic?"

Sorry, I did not mean that literally. I should have said "5 or 6 orders of magnitude fewer people are hurt as helped." As Tradbert's numbers indicated, the number of serious problems is around ~3,000 per year. I do not know how many deaths but it is is as many as ~300 that still pales beside the number of people who would die if we did not have vaccinations. Out of a population of 300 million, millions would perish.

Diseases such as TB, polio and smallpox would kill hundreds of thousands. Less serious illnesses would kill tens of thousands. For example, in the 1940s, 6,000 people died annually from whooping cough, mostly children. The population was 123 million then, so roughly 14,000 would die nowadays.

"My sister nearly died from a flu vaccine, and yes, it's been authenticated by her neurologist, who is one of the lead doctors at a local hospital. She developed a GBS-like disease called myotisis."

Obviously your sister is one of these rare people who need a medical exemption. In the future, I hope that tests can be developed to recognize such people before they are endangered. As I said, science is not and never will be perfect.
