      Again, that's a misunderstanding. For example, rubella #vaccines make 95% immune. That's a lot higher than the zero of non-vaccinating, and if rates are high, the germ won't get to the few that are not immune. That's what herd immunity does.

      that's the theory. It's not the reality. Look at the studies. It's a theory BY DEFINITION

      A scientific theory is something with a lot of data behind it. Like gravity - or herd immunity. In lay terms, a well established fact.

      plus you leave out genetic immunity. Unless you don't believe in evolution. Vaccines disrupt that.

      People aren’t usually born immune to the diseases we vaccinate against. It’s not genetic.

      history shows diseases incline, plateau and decline and are replaced. Evolutionary facts.

      Are you saying you can't back up your claim with evidence, either from the scientific literature or summarized in a lay format? Quelle surprise! You made the claim. It's not up to me to prove it for you. It's up to you. If you can't, then there's no reason to take you seriously.
