But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about available vaccines and none of them cause blindness. And the rates of death are far higher than 1%. The probabilities involved are ridiculously in favor of vaccination. Literally the exact opposite of what you claim.
Making up completely ridiculous examples to just justify anti-vaxxer idiocy should stay on Facebook.

“Reversible blindness in bilateral optic neruritis associated with nasal flu vaccine.“
Reversable - the tiny chance of a reversable condition vs contributing to the death of others. Can you be more selfish?

This is a very simplistic view given the probabilities involved. For a drastic example, consider a hypothetical treatment that can perfectly prevent a disease that would otherwise kill 1% of those who are treated, but it will blind 100% of them. It's hard to argue that this is a better outcome.
