I really don't think it's ever been proven that vaccines rid the world of small pox, polio etc. Everyone does accept this, and if true, I can certainly understand their support for vaccines. But there doesn't seem to be any real proof of this. Measles had gone way down years before the measles vaccine.
Nope, that was the MORTALITY of measles. Which coincidences with better hygiene in hospitals, for example.
Small pox, polio - both declined in Europe and elsewhere at the same time they did here, even while the vaccine wasn't being used that much elsewhere. Of course you've heard this before, as someone ends up saying it in every vaccine thread. So you either believe it or not, or question it or not. But since it's one of the major reasons people are so supportive of vaccines, it deserves a really close look at. From what I've researched, I don't think it can be assumed that vaccines necessarily stopped all these diseases.
Why not?
Nope, CASES of measles down before vaccines, and yes of course mortality too. From what I see, mortality had also been down for quite awhile in North America.
Why not? Because there is no proof - there is none. Show me the science, please. People say anti-vaxxers are anti-science, but I see a lot of blanket statements on the other side with no science to back it up, no studies, and this in my opinion is one of them.
90% of Americans caught measles by the age of 18. Now less then 1% do. Hospitals are green factories to this day. Why would measles be the one virus that cleaner hospitals affected so drastically?
Anti vaxxers are anti science. You don't go from a 90% infection rate to less then one because vaccines don't work. That's ridiculous.

Actually bubonic plague killed everyone not immune or resistant to it. On fact most people with European ancestry all haves gene they think is responsible. Bad example
C-C chemokine receptor type 5, also known as CCR5 or CD195, is a protein on the surface of white blood cells that is involved in the immune system as it acts as a receptor for chemokines. …its exact role in normal immune function is unclear.
Epigenetic control of CCR5 transcript levels in immune cells and modulation by small molecules inhibitors.
Previously, we have shown that CCR5 transcription is regulated by CREB-1. …Together, these data indicate that epigenetic modifications of DNA, and of histones, contribute to the control of CCR5 transcription in immune effector cells.
Genetic and Epigenetic Regulation of CCR5 Transcription
The chemokine receptor CCR5 regulates trafficking of immune cells of the lymphoid and the myeloid lineage (such as monocytes, macrophages and immature dendritic cells) and microglia. ….The cell-specific expression of CCR5 however is realized by using various epigenetic marks providing a multivalent chromatin state particularly in monocytes.

WHat would you accept as proof?
By the way, here's the measles incidence chart:
Quite a significant difference.
Here's the diphtheria chart:
Again, quite a difference.
Polio:
Fairly dramatic.
Those charts mean nothing to me

As a parent of a child who had a significant reaction to the vaccine in the UK and is severely autistic as a result (we strongly believe). It depresses me that this there is so much negativity and doubt yet they are still allowed to do this to people! I remember this case initially breaking glad to see something may still come of it....thanks for sharing

Not necessarily. It's all conjecture for one thing. But even if that were true, it postulates the whole idea that some kind of natural immunity developed among people, which would be a good thing, and which is not being allowed to happen to anyone for any disease today. Women who have had the measles, survived (yes, people have survived measles!), then passes her antibodies onto her children via pregnancy and breastfeeding, and that next generation is more immune to the measles than if that didn't happen - another reason I think vaccinating for any and everything "forever" is a bad idea.
Biological Challenges to Post-Eradication
Major biological challenges after eradication include:
….continuing and improving surveillance for the detection of vaccine-associated cases, recrudescence (outbreaks) of infection, new zoonotic transmissions, and the emergence of recombinant viral strains.
………Most notably, vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP) demonstrates how vaccine-associated cases of disease can occur even when disease due to wild-type virus is eliminated. Post-eradication strategies will require continual surveillance, more information about the duration of shedding and the persistence of the vaccine-derived virus in the environment, and continuing vaccine coverage even in areas where wild-type virus has been eradicated.
Viruses have extraordinary evolutionary strategies about which we have very little understanding. Continual surveillance and improved sampling methods are essential for tracking new genetic variants, particularly as more vaccines are introduced worldwide and rarer genotypes are selected for. The chance that new viruses could evolve underscores the need for continued development of improved vaccines and vaccine delivery systems.
My child became severely ill within hours of receiving the jab. She barely cried any other time (was a delightful contended baby) but she screamed for 72 hours with a fever and mucus began to leak from her ears. Drs said she had, wait for it... a severe ear infection. I cited the vaccine as the reason why she had contracted this. To my disgust every doctor refused to accept this and told me i was WRONG.

Actually, i had not seen that video, and haven't read the book either. Thanks for the link.
You can be certain that there are people who are being paid to push for big pharma drugs. Heck, there are members in this website who lie, make up false allegations, and do everything they can to derail threads having to do with this topic.
Biological Challenges to Post-Eradication
…vaccine-preventable viruses (e.g., polio and measles) are characterized by boom-and-bust epidemic cycles which exhibit extraordinary non-linear dynamics due to the complex population-level interactions that influence transmission.
