So the idea isn't that vaccinations CAUSE disease or disorder...
But the vaccination could serve as a stimulus or trigger for a pre-existing susceptibility...
And one way of viewing it is that that is a very very very rare situation.
And that seems true.
But another way of viewing it is that in the rare cases where it happens it perhaps isn't random -- we know that certain people are susceptible (older females with certain genotypes that typically result in a variety of allergy symptoms and features of various auto-immune diseases).
So... We can certainly warn those people. And I believe they are doing that...
_____________________
The idea of vaccines CAUSING the disease they were supposed to prevent was something that did in fact happen once upon a time with live attenuated vaccinations (that is the only type of vaccination that could result in causing the disease that is supposed to be prevented). That is because live attenuated vaccines deliver a weakened strain that the body is supposed to have the chance to develop an immune response to. But some people with very very weak immune responses werent' able to mount a response against the weakened strain so they got sick.
That's why the US stopped giving people the live attenuated polio vaccine (some people actually got polio from the vaccine) and only approves a different type or style of vaccination, now, that has no possibility of causing Polio to anybody at all.
But of course there will be risks of differnt things with the new type of vaccine...
Because there always are risks involved with any medical intervention.
And there are always risks involved with not having any medical intervention as well...
And everybody has got an opinion...
And everybody has got a body.
So everybody should be able to decide what happens with the body they've got.
