From the (boneheaded) editor: My apologies. I pooched this one in a way that is exceptional, even for me. I humbly beg your forgiveness. The line for torches is on the left, and pitchforks is on the right. Please, move on to the next story and don't waste any further time on this one.
Regards,

Let me lead with "and I still think vaccines are a generally good thing", but take a shot at your seatbelts and helmet analogies: seatbelts and helmets first do no harm, and then increase your odds of a good outcome in the event of a (rare) accident. Administering a vaccine is more like running a crash-test on your child, and usually coming out with a good result that makes them safer in the future.
I do have a problem with physicians who ignore the Hippocratic oath, and lots of them do when "science" predicts better outcomes down the road.
"Science" is generally good, but when differential reimbursement is thrown into the decision tree - I do personally know more than one licensed physician who errs on the side of getting paid.
