You mix up religious anti-vax movements with movements that aware of the safety concerns with vaccines.

Association of American Physicians and surgeons

Vaccines are necessarily risky, as recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court and by Congress. The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid some $4 billion in damages, and high hurdles must be surmounted to collect compensation. The damage may be so devastating that most people would prefer restored function to a multimillion-dollar damage award.

Here is an example of a vaccine injury:

I think in this case it is a organic-mercury poisoning, which happens sometimes with bad vaccines. The alternative treatment does not do help in this case, I think.

This dangers of vaccines should be in balance with the dangers of the diseases.
