I came across a recent science article ("Don't Blame Flu Shots For All Ills" - yes, I know it's not flu) that talked about the problem with correlation vs causation in these events; you must look at the death rates and causes that would happen anyway. You'd need to see a statistically different rate compared to the "baseline" rate to start associating it with a vaccine or medication. Another simple truth that if a treatment, vaccine, or medication causes 1 in 1,000,000 deaths, you will not be able to prevent it unless you never have said treatments, etc. And the death rate from lack of those treatments may be much higher than the risk due to treatment (look at measles, whooping cough, tetanus, smallpox, etc.) And if people start opting out in large numbers, herd immunity's lost and the unvaccinated folks lose their gamble.
