Beppe Grillo
Italian Comedian
Vaccines have played a fundamental role in eradicating terrible illnesses such as polio, diphtheria, and hepatitis. However, they bring a risk associated with side-effects that are usually temporary and surmountable... but, in very rare cases, can be as severe as getting the same disease you're trying to be immune to.

Quote examples
Ezekiel Emanuel
American Scientist
Childhood vaccines are one of the great triumphs of modern medicine. Indeed, parents whose children are vaccinated no longer have to worry about their child's death or disability from whooping cough, polio, diphtheria, hepatitis, or a host of other infections.

Quote examples
E. M. Forster
English Novelist
Paganism is infectious, more infectious than diphtheria or piety.
