Only smallpox has been eradicated - which is why no-one needs to be vaccinated against smallpox these days.
Polio has come close to eradication - but is still circulating in parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan, because the people there are very suspicious of vaccines! And as long as there are some cases anywhere in the world, the vaccination programmes have to continue. Every time the rate of measles vaccination drops, we get mini-outbreaks.
And vaccination is prevention, not cure. You have to prime the immune system before it encounters the bug - which is why most of us don't wait for someone to get infected before we get our children immunised, and why we get our hepatitis and typhoid shots before going on holiday.
Now that IS an exaggeration!U may be fine with 500 or 1000 vaccines a year
Deb: the graph and the statistics can easily be pulled up off the internet for the history of the measles. I think even 'Yehren' on this site, actually placed the simplified graph in one of his responses on a thread recently - last couple of weeks. And yes, if you can trust the figures, England and many others still were getting infected in 1962 although at a very much lower rate; it was already near the bottom of the curve from a world perspective and not just from a UK view. It then suddenly dropped off the next year, abruptly. Go figure..nature takes its courseYes, I'm sure. I don't know where you're getting your information from. There was lots of measles around in 1962 (that was when I had it) - and it certainly wasn't "on its deathbed" in the UK. It was also killing thousands of children in Africa.
I see. I was mystified. Thanks.Fair question i should of been more clear. The original was taken off youtube. Someone else uploaded it again

Yes it is an exaggeration for 2020 but not for 2025. How many diseases are there in the world. What if they made one for every one
There are almost 300 vaccines being developed at the moment so 500 is possible by 2025
Have u looked at the case for refusing vaccines or are you siding with the majority?

I guess Deborah it is how one understands reading a graph. If you think for one moment that when the first live vaccine for measles was made available in 1963 that suddenly the # of measles cases dropped like an anchor, that could be an unrealistic assumption.So I do that, and see the number of cases oscillating around an average figure up to the introduction of the vaccine, then an abrupt fall to near zero. Go figure... the vaccine worked.

There is no case for refusing all vaccines on principle. Only a fool would turn down diphtheria, tetanus, polio, whooping cough and rubella.
But each one has its own individual risk/benefit ratio. I don't usually bother with the annual flu vaccine (but I made an exception the year I had to have chemotherapy).
I hope it all went well for u with the chemo
Back again..just had a flat-tire/tyre in town...had to repair it....A drop from 450,000 cases per year (in the USA) to less than 10,000 looks pretty dramatic to me.
First of all we need to understand what a vaccine is. It is simply an attenuated or weakened form of the same microorganism which is causing the disease. It is meant to produce antibodies to fight those pathogens within the immune system of every person....how are we supposed to be helping the sick when we refuse vaccinations?
