THE VACCINATION ERADICATED WHOOPING COUGH, DIPHTHERIA, MEASLES, SCARLET FEVER, TYPHOID FEVER AND POLIO MYTH

Beautifully summarised on Instagram by the redoubtable Robert F Kennedy Jr, a champion in the safe-vaccine cause and a proponent of the factual peer-reviewed science on the topic.

"When the tide is receding from the beach it is easy to have the illusion that one can empty the ocean by removing the water with a pail." René Dubos (1901 - 1982)

Vaccinology's Genesis story begins with the myth that vaccines played the key role in ending the infectious disease epidemics that killed millions in the early 20th century.
I'm posting these graphs as a handy tool for you to show anyone who requires illustrated proof, that they did not.
The team of CDC and Johns Hopkins epidemiologists explain that more than 90% of the decline in infectious mortality among US children occurred before 1940 when few antibiotics or vaccines were available.
CDC assigns credit for abolishing measles, dysentery, scarlet fever, typhoid, typhus, cholera, the plague etc. from the civilized world, to improved nutrition and advances in water and sewer treatment, hygiene, chlorination and refrigeration. Their eradication has almost nothing to do with vaccines.

The McKinlays warned that vaccinologists and others in the medical industry would try to take credit in order to expand their profits and power. 

You may refer zealots who still harbor doubts, to the CDC's Dec 2000 study published by the American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) in the vaccine industry's own publication, PEDIATRICS.
The CDC study concludes that, 
"Thus vaccination does not account for the impressive declines in mortality seen in the first half of the century..."
A seminal study on the same subject by McKinlay and McKinlay concludes that vaccines can account for less than 1% of the decline in infectious disease mortality.

The study was published in the Milbank Memorial Fund Quarterly Volume 55, Issue 3 (pages 405 - 428)
