      Stop right there. The premise is NOT "fairly accurate." It's wrong. MORTALITY from some vaccine-preventable diseases was on the decline before the vaccines for those diseases were introduced (which was due to better medical care and not natural immunity"), but INCIDENCE was not.https://twitter.com/LiveIdiotFree/status/1184901899754958848 …

      I have a question for all of the scientists and doctors on here. I think it's fairly accurate to say that most of the common vaccines were introduced when certain diseases like measles were on a downward progression due to natural immunity...now that decades have passed...

      Incidents were also down. Not just mortality. Come on now...

      This wasn't true for measles, certainly. Its incidence stayed roughly the same, with a fairly large year-to-year, fluctuation, until the vaccine Wed introduced. Ditto polio and Hib (although polio's yearly fluctuations in incidence were huge).https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/vaccines-didnt-save-us-intellectual-dishonesty-at-its-most-naked/ …
