117. There are some adults who cannot take some vaccines.
They literally cannot have them for legitimate physical reasons- allergies to the methods used to produce the vaccines, in most cases.

So, suppose you walk into a doctor's office coughing and sneezing from the H1N1 flu, and the person next to you is there for something unrelated. The person next to you hasn't had the vaccine, not because he did not choose to, but because he cannot take it, period.

You infect him. He subsequently dies.

Now suppose it's little baby too young to get the vaccine in the first place, or someone with a compromised immune system, like a cancer or HIV patient.

What does that make you?
