I am very upset and unhappy that I was told I had to vaccinate my children just to prevent diseases that are not even prevalent in todays
society.
And why exactly do you think that those diseases were predominant in the past, but are no longer prevalent? Even if that survey is accurate then it's
saying that vaccinations "might" lead to an increase in allergies. One has to ask if a possible increase in allergies outweighs the risk of
subjecting kids to smallpox and other deadly diseases, I would say yes. But I question the accuracy of the survey, it says "The data was collected
from parents with vaccine-free children via an internet questionnaire by vaccineinjury.info and Andreas Bachmair, a German classical homeopathic
practitioner" so these are not unbiased people that were surveyed. These are people inclined to believe all the conspiracies about the "evils" of
vaccinations, so it's reasonable to assume that their biases altered their responses to the survey. It would be like surveying ATS members about 9-11
being a false flag operation versus surveying the general population, you're going to get vastly different results.
They aren't prevalent today BECAUSE of vaccines. Vaccines lower the R0 value of diseases leading to lower outbreak levels(3, 2, 1). This is because
vaccines increase something called herd immunity and break cycles of transmission. They essentially disrupt the "epidemiological triad", a
relationship between the host-pathogen-environment for a disease. By increasing host resistance/immunity it negates the environmental and
pathogenic/virulence factors of a disease. Don't kid yourself, vaccines are holding infectious diseases at bay. Just look at the history before
vaccines.

You see that massive decline of smallpox mortality? That coincides directly with smallpox vaccination. Oh but your immune system can handle diseases
just fine, and people were way healthier before the emergence of vaccines right? Give me a break.
