To what degree should we trust things?

Vaccines are not on the same level as cars. Vaccines are way more intrusive. Sure cars can kill like a vaccine, but it's not a good comparison. Vaccines are too personal, seem like a type of rape.

... except that in most cases you get to choose whether you have a vaccine or not.

I'm assuming you're picking up my comment earlier about cars killing people. That was more about the way humans are very bad at assessing risk than anything else.

It's also worth trying to flesh out the point you're trying to make rather than simply presenting "vaccines bad" as if it were as simple as that. You might as well say "peanuts bad" - for the majority of people eating peanuts is a perfectly regular activity while some people have unpleasant reactions to them, up to and including death. It doesn't mean peanuts are unsafe, merely that they are very dangerous for some people.
