Vaccination does not account for the impressive declines in mortality that we saw in the first half of the 20th century.  Nearly 90% of the decline in infectious disease mortality among U.S. children occurred before 1940 when few antibiotics or vaccines were available.  from Pediatrics

Quote #3

Vaccine injury lawsuits.  Oral polio vaccine which was responsible for causing every domestic case of paralytic polio in the U.S. after 1979.  Even though the risk of getting polio from the vaccine had become greater than the risk from the wild virus.  And even though an alternative, inactivated polio vaccine was available, the FDA in 1984 declared that "any possible doubts, whether or not well-founded about the safety of the vaccine cannot be allowed to exist in view of the need to assure that the vaccine will continue to be used to the maximum extent consistent with the nation's public health objectives." 

That reminds me of the censorship and suppression that's been going on these days.
