More on Vaccinations

I would commend spacing [vaccinations] out firmly on the grounds of general principles: there is NEVER something for nothing in life, medicine included. That is, we are fiddling with systems about which relatively little is known. It is not usually possible to achieve the good we want without some liability to harm, and the whole of life is getting the most good for the least bad.
