BUT NOOOOO vaccines are good for you, obaaaaaaaama says so

Once upon a time, smallpox was a demon, killing more human beings than all the wars in history. The virus could not be cured by antibiotics--those only work on bacteria. The only effective attack was prevention. Through a series of vaccines, by 1977 smallpox was effectively eradicated from the planet.
Diphtheria, for instance, kills one tenth of those who contract it. Tetanus kills one third. Vaccines have greatly improved the odds of human survival, but there are risks. The tetanus vaccine is known to cause severe nervous reactions in one person out of 100,000, and severe allergic reactions in one person out of each million.
Horrific personal stories, hyperbole and some reputable studies purportedly linking childhood vaccines to everything from ear infections and asthma to autoimmune disorders and autism flood the Internet. Some sites offer credible information, while others simply offer quotes from people who are not identified beyond their names, and whose credibility therefore cannot be judged.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average life expectancy at the beginning of the 20th century was 47.3 years. A century later, that number had increased to 77.85 years, due largely to the development of vaccinations and other treatments for deadly diseases
Although smallpox was one of the most devastating illnesses in human history, killing more than 300 million people worldwide during the 20th century alone, scientists declared the world free of smallpox in 1979.
WTF was Obama thinking when he said that?
