Seems you will never get the point, social medicine is based on statistics. Is it better to have 1/1000 to die from allergy to the vaccine or 1/100 to die from the disease itself? That's the type of choice doctors face, everyday. A surgery is no different, is it better to remove the tumor with a 1/50 to kill the patient in the operation or leave it as it is and have the patient have a 1/100 chance to recover by other means?
It's always a choice of the lesser evil. You don't look at single cases when prescribing vaccine to the entire population, and you can't decide not to take a vaccine if that means a higher risk for all the other citizens. Your freedom ends where the next person's begins.
