The guy who came here illegally from Mexico or Central America very likely had all his childhood shots and was vaccinated for TB.
There is a man in the US with extremely drug resistant TB. He's from Peru and here legally.

Others have addressed this. It's dishonest to say the vaccine caused the problem when it did not. Vaccination has resumed.
Baby deaths in southern Mexico not due to vaccines, health official says | Fox News Latino
" 'We can offer a clear and unequivocal conclusion: that the isolated problem that occurred in Chiapas was not due to a faulty vaccine, to anything being wrong with the vaccine,' the director of the Mexican Social Security Institute, or IMSS, Jose Antonio Gonzalez, said at a press conference, adding that the investigation is ongoing.
While other vaccines were administered to the children, the only one that all of the affected infants received was the hepatitis B vaccine, and therefore that has been the focus of the investigation, Gonzalez said.
The Federal Commission for Protection against Sanitary Risk, or Cofepris, analyzed and released the lots the vaccines came from in October of last year, he said, noting that those batches are the source of "tens of thousands of doses that have been administered (since then) in other parts of the country, without any instance of a reaction like this one."
Although only 72 hours have elapsed since the infants were hospitalized, 'we have results from the cultures that are beginning to show the presence of local external contamination, unrelated to the vaccine,' " Gonzalez said Tuesday.

The cells used to make some (not all) vaccines come from cells from two abortions done about 35 years ago, neither of which was done just to provide cells to make vaccines. Such cells are grown in a laboratory. Doing an abortion to obtain tissue to make vaccines or solely for any research reason is illegal. No one is convincing anyone to have abortions, and ER doctors do not perform them.

Probability sort of differs from what your club says. It's amazing your club thinks out of 30.000 reports 29,400 of them are coinkidink. Fantastical low percentages. It's like the science of Magic Mountain. I'm sure you've done the math. Wink, wink, you little math guy you.
Healthcare in America is our 3rd largest killer. But hey, they still give some good advise right? After all it's not like they are making money off ill people. Crack, my bad, they are. Well, you can always sue them.
What? They are immune to lawsuits? Wow, that's so wonderful for them. I don't why that would make anyone question their commitment to health. It has to be their number one priorit.....what!!! It's profit! Well, I guess that's a big companies job in a for profit healthcare system.
But hey, science is like religion, never changes. Variables never come into play. Whatever the science community says has been carved into a stone tab....ooh never mind, that's religion. That isn't how science works. The science on something is only good until someone proves it isn't. Grant it that the drug companies have a lot more money than a mom with a damaged 2 year old but hey, nobody said live was fair right? Right!
Have fun in that club but you know, you don't have to knock others to get your point across. Oh, my bad, you DO! Ok have a fun time. The rest of your club will be along shortly to fire up the party. They'll brings all the beer, I mean handcuffs, uh, oh yes, mandates they'd like to see imposed.

The snark does not make what you say true.
Yes, vaccine companies make a profit off of vaccines. Please tell us how you would suggest that drugs, including vaccines, should be developed and sold without anyone profiting from it.
Drug companies cannot be sued over adverse effects from vaccines. We have a better system which provides generous compensation to people truly harmed by vaccines. It involves filing a claim with the government instead of suing the company making the vaccine. Since adverse effects happen from vaccines that are not the fault of the manufacturer, people get awards who would have lost lawsuits. More money goes to the injured person. Lawyers get less.
Yes, medical science changes, as new evidence appears. The scientific evidence on vaccines confirms they are safe and effective. When problems with vaccines become apparent steps are taken to improve them.
There are not 30,000 injuries and deaths from vaccines yearly. VAERS reports may be made by anyone.
On Using VAERS | Left Brain Right Brain
" ... Jim Laidler said:
The chief problem with the VAERS data is that reports can be entered by anyone and are not routinely verified. [Note; all reports, including this one are verified. VAERS had to have his permission to remove the report.]To demonstrate this, a few years ago I entered a report that an influenza vaccine had turned me into The Hulk. The report was accepted and entered into the database."
People report such things as hearing on TV that someone died from a vaccine, or a nurse told them someone had a bad reaction to a vaccine, or they heard 4000 people died from a vaccine.
Let's look at some actual VAERS reports of deaths:
Search Results from the VAERS Database
" Information has been received from a nurse practitioners'' patient who heard on radio that 'HPV vaccine killed someone in the country'. The cause of death was unknown. The reporter was not sure if the vaccine was GARDASIL or CERVARIX. Attempts are being made to verify the existence of an identifiable patient. Additional information has been requested.
Search Results from the VAERS Database
"Information was reported in a newspaper article that a 14 year old female patient who on an unspecified date was vaccinated with a dose of GARDASIL vaccine (lot number, date, route and site not reported). Subsequently the patient experienced auto-immune symptoms and died 21 months later. The article also discussed the multiple sclerosis of other 5 patient while on therapy with GARDASIL vaccine ... No further information is available."
Search Results from the VAERS Database
"Information has been received from an office manager that the physician heard from the physician''s colleague that a 16 year old female colleague''s patient was given an unspecified dose of GARDASIL (Lot not reported) on a Friday and on Monday the patient passed away (specific dates were unknown). The reporter considered the event as disabling and life threatening. Additional information has been requested."
Search Results from the VAERS Database
"Information has been received from a consumer who saw a report on the internet about a 23 year old patient who was vaccinated with 3 doses of GARDASIL. Subsequently the patient died, the cause of the death was unknown. This is one of several reports received from the same source. Additional information has been requested."
Reports to VAERS are just reports. A few are actual valid reports of actual adverse events, but few turn out to be due to the vaccine and very few of those are serious. Most are sore arms and things like fainting after getting jabbed with a needle. Teenagers are prone to doing that in particular. Of all the reports of deaths after Gardasil, about one third were similar to the ones above. Others included deaths by suicide, heart disease, and other conditions totally unrelated to the vaccine.
The same thing happens with reports about adverse effects of other vaccines. True vaccine injuries are extremely rare. There are not 30,000 serious injuries and deaths from vaccines each year.
