Anti-vaccination activists, including the US Health and Human Services Secretary, decry the risk of vaccination.

But they also show lower incidence of other cancers as well, such as lung, blood and nervous system cancers. The shingles vaccines seem to have protective effects against dementia, heart disease and stroke. All of thse findings suggest that broader vaccination may have public health benefit.
