Are vaccines safe and effective? Should they be mandatory for school, work, or any other reason? Why or why not? Do you feel you know everything that you need to, in order to make the best decision for your family? What do you think about people who make the opposite choice?

Safe; mostly. There always is that percent risk of complications with taking vaccines. Effective; same answer. Pseudoscience is the biggest problem with discerning the difference between relative safety and no safety at all. Please use caution when reading or investing into arguments like this without fact checking and/or verifying evidence.

What is relative safety in a population as opposed to the relative safety for an individual child? A small risk at the population level says nothing to me about the level of risk that an individual person takes on.

The ones that are modified are safe. There are also ones with a low risk factor for actually getting a person ill.
It is however better in most cases to already have the “recipe“ for required antibodies inside your system.

No. Some can help but others can cause severe illnesses and injury. Don’t believe one shot can help you or prevent you from something because within a blink of an eye something worse can happen.

vaccines inject a dead or very weak version of the disease, into your blood. they have it weak on purpose, it simulates your body actually having the bacteria/bug in you, without the bug being able to hurt you. your body fights it off, and remembers how to fight it off, so when you actually do get the disease, your body can fight it off quickly.

 

if you don’t get a vaccine, your body has to learn to fight it off while the disease can fight back and cause damage, and can possibly harm you bad enough before you learn how to fight it, making it too late and you could die.

If you dont immunise you could get harmful or even fatal diseases there is only a small percentage of people who have died of immunisations but most of them turn out healthy.
