From a numbers perspective it seems that it is more risky to get the MMR vaccine than to not with current vaccination rates in US. But obviously if everyone thought that way it wouldn't work. Interesting.

Good Lord, calm yourself. I was just posing a question. My child is vaccinated.

In 2014 667 got it. CDC says 1-million odds of a bad reaction to the vaccine with 325m population in the US you are twice as likely to get sick from measles. But the vaccine will cause an allergic reaction (easy to fix) where measles can cause blindness, brain damage, or dead.
-
2014 was one of the highest years for measles cases. 2010-2017 every year was under 250 cases. The 1 in 1 million is severe allergic reaction to the vaccine not just an allergic reaction. Measles causes severe issues in 1 in 1000 people who get it.

Probability of harm isn’t the right question here - morbidity and mortality of an infection like this is significant once disease is contracted. Contrast this with adverse event rates from vaccination (mild). Don’t forget about hospital-based harm once infection is diagnosed.

According to the CDC the 1 in 1 million severe adverse events from the MMR vaccine are: deafness, long-term seizure, coma, lowered consciousness and brain damage. Those don't seem mild to me.
