Vaccines sometimes cause grave injury and the vaccine court pays out. Some people aren't so keen to press their luck.

  It's more complicated than that. Sometimes people suffer grave symptoms after vaccinations but it's almost impossible to prove causation. Many cases are probably pure coincidence. I suspect the court often pays out just to help out someone in a tough situation.

  Statistically Planes fall out of the sky more frequently. But flight is amazingly safe. Given enough N number of an event, something weird will happen. But given that outside of America's bizarre discussion - billions of people have been vaccinated, over generations, to no known trends or losses, I'd say that vaccines are worth using. ---- This kind of debate is how Fox News and the rest of them made global warming into a debateable issue. This is how creationism became credible to the general public. You can ask these "reasonable" questions, and over fit on edge cases for anything. You can then present it to normal people and make it seem like that there is some issue. Expert positions are discredited by saying there's a vast conspiracy, and that experts have a financial stake in the matter. ------- Please stop doing this shit as a country. You'll have perfected the art of making falsehoods credible forces in public discourse. I could understand if this happened in some country where education was not widely available. But if it's happening in America, the first of the first world, and its deeply troubling. These things are designed, planned and unleashed. America ends up acting as a massive proof of concept. If you'll can't stop these kind of manufactured debates from spreading, then I don't know what the rest of the world will do.
