Measles can cause encephalitis and brain damage.
Chickenpox can lead to permanent scars.
Meningitis has long term consequences like seizures and motor function disorders.
Polio can cause respiratory paralysis.
Vaccines are SAFE and prevent life long misery.

Let's help Clay out here with some math.
The $4200/yr. is for a household. Average SNAP household has 1.9 people. So that's $2210/person.
$2210/year is $184/month, and that's a little over $6. per day.
Clay, let's see you stockpile groceries on $6/day.
Hell, let's see you eat on $6/day.
