It depends on the vaccine. Vaccines save lives. That's a fact. Vaccinating against diseases like smallpox and polio have been some of the greatest public health initiatives in history in terms of preventing human suffering and death. Preventing whooping cough vaccines save babies from early childhood death. The MMR vaccines are highly effective at removing diseases that cause long-term disability in severe cases. The only reason we are seeing resurgence of these diseases now in the West is mass migration of unvaccinated people bringing the diseases with them. The hepatitis A and B vaccines have done an enormous amount of good in preventing liver infections which can lead to organ failure and death. Meningitis can and does kill people, including young adults in the prime of their lives. We can prevent that too. Pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines have been integral in protecting people with underlying respiratory disease from getting bacterial pneumonias which often kill their hosts. I'll say it again because it bears repeating: vaccines have proven to be one of the most cost-effective life-saving measures modern medicine has ever produced. And the evidence is crystal clear on that.

Yes, these COVID vaccines are terrible and the people involved in pushing them are evil. And I'll grant you also that the flu shot is probably a scam. It's a subscription payment made to the flu manufacturers that turns human beings into an annuity. But let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater and claim that all vaccines are evil because we've found some recent ones that should be pulled from the market.
