There are risks for everything, even simple surgeries. My fiancee and I have a 25% chance of losing any future child to SMA like we did Sofia...but we haven't stopped trying. I am not minimizing the death of your loved one, because life is precious to me. I do say that vaccines have saved a far, far greater number of lives than they have lost. Your family is in my thoughts.
