What are the odds that this would happen?

High. The Government indemnifies Vaccines. They also make it hard to prove.

Truth, some people react to things and die, or have an illness.

A girl kissed her boyfriend who had eaten peanut butter hours before, and died.

Peanuts, Walnuts, Shellfish, have all been known to kill, and for some, Wheat Gluten, Milk Products, can have bad effects. The last time I saw a doctor for antibiotics, they asked if I was allergic, Not that I know of, so there was some risk, no tests were done.

People have died from a single bee sting, ant bite, Poison Ivy.

General Anesthesia has a fairly high risk of death. Some people need twice the usual dose to put them under, others sink like a stone and do not recover.

Medical error kills more than murder, suicide, autos, 100,000 a year, and I think that covers adverse drug reaction.

The claim of 20,000 out of the more than 25 million in California would give it less than one in a thousand has an adverse reaction, immune system goes wild, attacks other body systems by error.

I would think it less than gave patient the wrong drug, they all have funny names, of gave ten or a hundred times the correct amount. The decimal point was misplaced.

The admitted error rate, 100,000 out of 330 million, with maybe a third seeing a doctor, we are back at one in a thousand.

Medicine does no harm, or even works on 999.

That is acceptable risk, unless you are number 1,000.

Would the death rate be higher without Vaccines? Much higher as we know from pre vaccine medical records.

Risk is everywhere. Post 9/11 people chose to drive rather than fly, which lead to 3,000 excess traffic deaths.

55 MPH speed limits save lives, but condemn people to spending thousands of years driving slower.

We now accept the added risk of going faster, but deaths per mile driven declined. Higher speed means less traffic on the road, hence safer.

Going 75-80, most people spend more attention on brakes and tires. Less road time, less tired drivers which are worse than drunks for killing people.

From a Medical Point of View, you are all going to die, the best that can be done is to get the longest lives in good health for the most people. By that measure, we are winning.

Just a few hundred years ago, half of children died, and adults at 42 of old age.

There are 7 billion people in the world. About 1 in 100,000 gets GBS. I think that means 70,000 cases worldwide (don't know where the 20,000 a year comes from, that seems much too high). That makes it quite likely that someone will coincidentally come down with an illness afterwards.

Some other points:
- We don't know the man's medical history. If he was vaccinated because, for example, he'd been admitted to hospital with an infection and they didn't want him catching something worse, the infection he had is likely to be the cause
- Vaccination programs have actually reduced incidence of GBS
