In my entire life, I've only met one person who had any long lasting damage from a childhood vaccine. I have met many people, of course older, who faced lifelong consequences from polio, including one who spent a good chunk of time in an iron lung. I am not against mandates because I think everyone should gauge their own risk tolerance, but given the sheer number of people I know who have had all the vaccines (which is quite literally everyone around me) and that I've only come across one that was harmed by a vaccine, I'll stick with the conclusion that, in general, the older vaccines are safe and well worth the minimal risk.
