I don't follow this part. Can you provide some examples?

Every vaccine has some fraction of the population is affects adversely. We’re super strict about that hazard. But it exists. Eradicating a mosquito isn’t risk free, but it’s (a) one and done and (b) strikes me as less risky.

That is true of all medicines. So what is really being said here? Is there a hint of anti-vax in that comment? I cannot tell.
