      To be fair I have known perfectly reasonable people choose the risk of malaria over taking that vaccine. Don’t know if they have changed it since I was a kid, but that vaccine was guaranteed to make you feel awful.

        Malaria, Yellow and Dengue fever are guaranteed to make you feel awful.

        You’ve known perfectly reasonable idiots.

          Possibly, but their argument was that the risk of getting the disease was small, but the vaccine was guaranteed. They grew up there, so I would think they know the subject better than me.

        I don’t know, I traveled with my parents to several African countries as a kid, and we got a bunch of vaccines, and I don’t remember having any major reactions.
