What is the difference from getting a small load from a vaccine than a load from another kid, e.g., at a chickenpox party? If we talk about chickenpox vaccine specifically. Btw., chickenpox vaccine is optional and given much later, at least where I live.

The differences are however the risks of the vaccine compare to the risks of chicken pox. I'm not an expert on that, but I am confident that the difference between those two things is smaller for chicken pox than it is for small pox.
Some vaccines are great, some are marginal, some are harmful for certain people. My point is that making blanket statements about how great vaccines are omits all nuance on the topic.

This is it: some are harmful for certain people. And I would emphasize the word certain here.
