A 'required' for my college scholarship meningitis Vax nearly killed me. As soon as I was diagnosed with what they said was either 'brain swelling or spinal cord swelling' my mom ran us out of the ER and called our Indian medicine man. That was back in the 90s. I can only imagine how many people vaccines have killed. We didn't know we could get me an exemption or we would have but the battery of vaccines has left me with permanent damage to my immune system.
