I don't disagree that there are no downsides, only that they should not be the bulk of the discussion. When you discuss the risks alongside the benefits, you elevate the risks to the same level as the benefits. If a vaccine has a 0.1% chance of side effects, but we spend 50% of the time talking about it, doesn't it make the risk seem a lot worse?
The article you linked mentioned 60 people in Canada experienced side effects with the HPV vaccine. Whoop-di-fuckin-do. 60 people out of 35,000,000. But yet here we are, with an entire feature article on this vaccine and its side effects, completely neglecting the serious benefits it has provided to Canadian society.
Vaccines are something that need to be black and white. For common people who aren't doctors, there should be no middle ground. Leave the skepticism to the researchers and doctors developing the vaccines.
