Suffice to say, we will never fly again by choice - and that is sad - I love to fly but not enough to show my medical records prior to boarding.
So you routinely accept the minuscule risk inherent in flying but won't accept the even more minuscule risk in vaccination? Nobody ever said that vaccination is 100% safe - nothing is. Billions of vaccines have been administered, but aside from the anecdotal 'horror stories', the fact that you cite an example of vaccine injury (the Cutter incident) dating back more than 60 years should indicate to you that perhaps any vaccine risk is in fact very low.
