Have vaccines saved millions of lives or not?.
So If you want these diseases to come back don't get vaccinated.

If your vaccinated and I'm not then if we were both exposed to the illness allegedly that the vaccination was going to protect you from you should remain impervious and I will catch the illness. So what business of yours is it if I get sick or not? Then maybe again your just believing the propaganda and I'm not!

Our studies suggest that despite their transient nature, gene expansions may provide a potent means of adaptation in poxviruses, allowing them to survive either immune or pharmacological challenges,” Malik said. “Recognizing the means by which they undergo this expansion may provide more effective antiviral strategies against these and related important pathogens.”
When you reintroduce diseases that we have been immunized against, in a society where a portion has decided to stop immunizing, you are allowing the diseases to learn how to adapt and overcome the old strains that we happen to be immunized against.
Basically, you are putting us all at risk by allowing grounds where diseases can begin to mutate into something we have no immunization against.
A central concept of toxicology is that effects are dose-dependent; even water can lead to water intoxication when taken in too high a dose, whereas for even a very toxic substance such as snake venom there is a dose below which there is no detectable toxic effect. Toxicity is species-specific, making cross-species analysis problematic. Newer paradigms and metrics are evolving to bypass animal testing, while maintaining the concept of toxicity endpoints.[1]

What's constitutional about making everyone take vaccines and shaming those who don't want them? It's absolutely fascist and the excuses are pathetic. You have no problem with people's rights being violated. You're a hypocrite. Keep waving your flag.

Yes vaccines work. And if you look at history and then look at today the numbers speak for themselves. Get your children immunized against the deathly diseases and protect those with compromised immune systems but use common sense, i.e. don't go getting every flu shot being guessed at each year.
For a parent to think they live in a bubble and are protecting their child against some side effect of a vaccination but don't consider how they can destroy another child's life that hasn't had a chance yet to obtain their vaccination - do I dare consider it murder to some degree? Yes, if I were the parent of a child that gets infected by your child then yeah I think I would.
We parents want the best for our children but if you are going to be completely anti-vaccine then you had best stop using cars to transport your child in, had best stop feeding them anything they have to chew and had best make sure you don't ever let them sleep alone in case they stop breathing.
I'll bet every single person in the ancient days would have given their soul for a shot during all the plagues of history.
Smallpox was responsible for an estimated 300–500 million deaths during the 20th century. As recently as 1967, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 15 million people contracted the disease and that two million died in that year.

Polio: As one of the largest disabled groups in the world, polio survivors also helped to advance the modern disability rights movement through campaigns for the social and civil rights of the disabled. The World Health Organization estimates that there are 10 to 20 million polio survivors worldwide.

Measles:
During 2000-2013, measles vaccination prevented an estimated 15.6 million deaths making measles vaccine one of the best buys in public health.

Black Plague: Ole J. Benedictow describes how he calculated that the Black Death killed 50 million people in the 14th century, or 60 per cent of Europe’s entire population.

Swine Flu:
1918 – 1919
Illness from the 1918 flu pandemic, also known as the Spanish flu, came on quickly. Some people felt fine in the morning but died by nightfall. People who caught the Spanish Flu but did not die from it often died from complications caused by bacteria, such as pneumonia.
During the 1918 pandemic:
• Approximately 20% to 40% of the worldwide population became ill
• An estimated 50 million people died
• Nearly 675,000 people died in the United States

"I won't get angry at or blame the person in the waiting room," she wrote in her post. "If you have chosen to not vaccinate yourself or your child, I blame you. I blame you."
Should her youngest develop measles, she notes that death is "a potential outcome."

Read any history book...
Are you saying these diseases didn't kill millions?.
