Ok, so I missed that on both accounts. I thought you were talking about the main points. Yea, that was just me being dramatic. The point I would make is that you are rolling the dice, and depending on where you live you may be taking a bigger chance than you think. Take pertussis for example. Look at this map:

Some states are at a much greater risk.
And now the disease is making a comeback. This may be due to better reporting and originally a big underreporting.
Bottom line is vaccines are important and have absolutely revolutionized public health in all parts of the world. Get them.
