NOTE: If someone linked you to this article claiming that it shows that vaccines did not help fight infectious disease, they are wrong—and they didn’t read this article
The bottom line is that sanitation—pest control, water filtration and chlorination, safe sewage disposal, milk pasteurization and other food safety, and public education about general hygiene—probably did more than anything else to reduce mortality rates, if only because these techniques were available decades, and in some cases centuries, before anything else. Antibiotics were dramatically effective when they were finally introduced, but by this point a lot of the work had already been done. Vaccines too were extremely effective, but merely delivered the coup de grace for many diseases.
Weird how shit like measles gets essentially eradicated but then you antivax dipshits who literally do not understand biology at the level of a high school freshman hoot and holler like imbeciles until you’re allowed to go without vaccines and then, huh, wouldn’t you know it, it’s come back. Almost like washing your hands doesn’t do shit against incredibly infectious airborne viruses!
You should be burnt alive for how harmful the idiocy you’re attempting to spread is, you stupid fucker.
And similar patterns hold for lesser killers such as measles, which didn’t have a vaccine until the 1960s, but which by then had already declined in mortality by more than 90% from its 1900 levels.1,4
I would say you’re a fucking idiot but that insults the intelligence of idiots
I wonder what conspiracy they are referencing
Oh no i didn’t read an article posted with a framing based on the comparative lack of efficacy of vaccination! shut up and face the wall thanks
I guess these facts hurt your feelings

Sorry you’re offended by statistics.
