"Patients might get up to 300 shots in a lifetime. Other diseases have spread this way; an Egyptian campaign against schistosomiasis ended in 1980 after giving more than half its “beneficiaries” hepatitis C." -This is the kind of thing that creates the conspiracy theories that the government is intentionally inoculating the population with disease through vaccination. I don't think it's intentional, but you can see where the fear comes from.

Great read. Thanks.
