The benefits are pretty obvious; increased resistance or outright immunity to certain illnesses. The biggest dangers are to those allergic to eggs, but unsanitary vaccination needles and generally weak immune systems can make vaccines risky as well.

No. They aren’t. Misinformation is dangerous. Guillible people who cannot accept the results of over a decade’s worth of credible research are dangerous and not vaccinating your kids could be quite dangerous for them. “Most major studies at any rate have failed to show a connection between autism and thimerosal. A 2000 vaccine safety study initially showed an association, but after errors in the analysis were corrected the link vanished. In 2002 a Danish study of more than 500,000 children over age seven found no link between measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccinations and autism. A 2003 follow-up study focusing on thimerosal-containing vaccines again showed no link, and also showed autism rates increasing despite removal of thimerosal from vaccines. A British study of 5,763 children in 2004 showed only a statistically insignificant link between MMR vaccine and autism; a study of 27,749 children in Montreal found no MMR link to autism or related problems.
