I care for children in the hospital on inpatient & consult services.
Most weeks there are at least a few kids admitted with vaccine preventable diseases.
Often in children who can’t get vaccinated themselves.
15 years in pediatrics and I’ve never seen a single one admitted with vaccine injury.

Football used to be deadly before we had vaccines.
Here's the story of 29 players died from tetanus—a bacteria found everywhere—before vaccines.
There is no immunity to tetanus except through vaccines. Even tetanus survivors -saved by antitoxin, antibiotics & critical care - don’t gain protection

The forgotten story of … Di Jones and the footballers who died of tetanus
The infection was a serious threat to British players in the years before a vaccination was introduced, claiming several lives, including that of the Manchester City full-back in 1902
