Benjamin Franklin is the most famous example: https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2021/08/14/ben-franklin-smallpox-son-vaccine/ A number of covid tragedies resulted in similar stories: https://www.cbs17.com/community/health/coronavirus/florida-dad-feels-regret-after-unvaccinated-teen-daughter-dies-of-covid-19/ https://www.newsweek.com/texas-mom-regrets-going-unvaccinated-after-4-year-old-daughter-dies-covid-1628154 https://www.thedailybeast.com/i-didnt-vaccinate-my-childand-i-regret-it Pre-covid examples are collected here: https://vaxopedia.org/2017/05/10/parents-who-regret-not-vaccinating-their-kids/
