"There were periodic peaks and valleys throughout the years, but the real, permanent drop in case of measles in the U.S. coincided with the licensure and wide use of measles vaccine beginning in 1963. Graphs for most other vaccine-preventable diseases show a similar pattern. Are we expected to believe that better sanitation caused incidence of each disease to drop, just at the time a vaccine for that disease was introduced?"

Graphs can be misleading! When you looks at graphs going back to 1838 in the UK or 1901 in the US you see that deaths from measles has already dropped 99.4% BEFORE the use of vaccines. I've tried to post links to graphs here, but YouTube very cleverly blocks comments if it looks like they might include a link to another website.

[CommonReason]

The graphs you show have nothing to do with prevention of illness. The graphs in your video show the mortality rate of particular illnesses. As time went on from the early point in the graph, medical care was on the rise, so was healthy living. All contributing factors to surviving an illness. However, with the introduction of vaccines, we are eliminating the illness all together, thereby eliminating the risk of death from the infection.

[CommonReason]

Another thing to add, yes you can prevent deaths. But, take polio for example, many survivors can be left paralyzed. Other diseases have other long term affects. Vaccines also prevent these from ever occuring in the first place.

It's too bad that it will be the children of the antivaxxers who will be hurt and not the parents who buy into this idiocy. These are people of the same mentality as the christian "scientists" who won't take their children to doctors, the people who believe chiropractor cab cure diseases and those who believe in homeopathy. I believe that at least one set of christian "scientist" parents whose child died from lack of medical care has been prosecuted. More should be.

I don't really understand why people wouldn't get vaccinated. It doesn't hurt that much to get the vaccine.

Get Your Vaccines Sheeple

[glassbrain]

Thanks, but I'll opt to not get Polio (Which has been effectively wiped out).

[zthustra]

I'm sorry that the comment section is to limited for the reply you deserve. The link to the CDC was the most revealling to me. They conveniently failed to tell us about the school with the measles outbreak. I think it was the one in Alaska. All five kids were from the same family ... duh! They also failed to tell us about the measles outbreak in the texas school with 100% vaccine compliance. Or the one in IL (I think) with many more vaccinated kids ill and many unvaccinated kids not ill.

[zthustra]

I think my point has already been posted, I did my cost - risk - benefit analysis and determined that the benefit was essentially zero, the risk was small, and the cost was affordable. I don't see any reason to take even a small risk or spend an affordable amount for something that I do not expect to benefit from.

[zthustra]

An assertion does not equal a fact.

[CommonReason]

Then what's your point? Are you saying we shouldn't put effort into vaccinating children because it's less than something else? Should we take away safety protocols from airplanes because there are less plane crashes than car crashes?

One death from an entirely preventable illness is too much.

See the side bar for a pubmed link with several peer reviews studies that you were looking for but couldn't find.

[glassbrain]

The fact is this: vaccines save lives, and prevent diseases.

[zthustra]

Umm, you seem to have seriously misquoted me. I don't believe that more kids die from vaccines than communicable diseases. What I said is that more kids in the US are hospitalized from school sports injuries than from communicable diseases that we immunize for.
