Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78942859 “It is possible that the anti-vaccination movement has arisen among younger generations, in part, because they cannot bear witness to the tragedy of disfigurement, morbidity, and death caused by viral and bacterial diseases,” Olshansky said. A 1998 study often cited by the anti-vaccine movement claimed a link between vaccines and autism in children, but that study has since been shown to be fraudulent. If you bothered to read the study itself you'd find he didn't find a link! But he did find gastro issues which have later been found to be true! "We did not prove an association between measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and the syndrome described. Virological studies are underway that may help to resolve this issue." [ link to www.thelancet.com (secure)] It is ironic that in the anti-vaccination community, the very people who are denying protection to their children by foregoing vaccination are healthy and alive today because they, and possibly their parents, were vaccinated
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69933813 The diseases were already on the decline before the vaccines came on the scene. Scarlet fever is the perfect example of this as there never was a vaccine for it, yet was declining like the rest. But unlike the rest vaccines couldn't take the credit.
