Yes. I also need food to survive.

You grow all of it? And you produce your own soil and fertilizer to grow them? And, of course, have sequenced and fully understood the genomes of all the seed lines you use, because you can't trust Big Gardening not to slip something in there to hurt you. And I'm sure you mined, smelted, and cast all the metals of all the tools you use in your kitchen and garden, because you wouldn't want Big Knife or Big Shovel contaminating your food with something. Better make sure you only cook over an open flame with wood from trees you grew yourself, too, because you can't trust Big Stove not to add some extra kind of evil energy to the heat.

Every single day, you trust an uncountable number of things you cannot ever hope to claim you have a comprehensive understanding of, many of which (the aforementioned truck and house examples) have far, FAR more potential to cause you harm than any vaccine. Singling vaccines out as something people shouldn't be taking without completely verifying and understanding their contents represents an utter failure to intelligently assess risk, and a complete lack of understanding of what everyday life actually entails.

Do you see any smallpox around here? I'm on a scavenger hunt but I can't seem to find any smallpox.

Last I heard, there was some in the freezer of the micro lab at the local hospital. You could count that, if you wanted to.
