    To be fair I have known perfectly reasonable people choose the risk of malaria over taking that vaccine. Don’t know if they have changed it since I was a kid, but that vaccine was guaranteed to make you feel awful.

      I don’t know, I traveled with my parents to several African countries as a kid, and we got a bunch of vaccines, and I don’t remember having any major reactions.

      Malaria, Yellow and Dengue fever are guaranteed to make you feel awful.

      You’ve known perfectly reasonable idiots.
