Before the vaccination and modern medicine, we had a lifespan of 16 to 17 years.
I think world history would look a little different if it had been entirely forged by hormonal brats on the verge of carking it. Your figures might be a little off.
I LOLed my ass off
Just read this article today, this is a perfect example of why getting vaccinated is kind of a 'duh' thing at this day and age.

Raises an interesting point. Does autism go down in communities where vaccination isn't as prevalent/is purposefully avoided? I suspect no, but this metric would go a long way in proving/disproving the link between autism and vaccinations.
The risk truly isn't worth it, people. It's a reason why these particular diseases were singled out, they cause great harm to the populace and are subject to rampant spread. I think the majority of us would chose autism over possible death, ESP when that risk of autism is so miniscule.
I really just don't understand anti-vaxxers, how they go to that conclusion. Even as a kid I understood it's just like having chickenpox, except that you don't have to go through the process of getting sick. Some diseases are also dangerous since you don't know whether you have them and during all that time you can actually spread them. HPV causes several types of cancer. People in my country usually find they have hepatitis when they finally get liver cancer. My mom got malaria as a kid and so can't donate blood, apparently she's still a carrier. I know malaria can't be vaccinated against but I believe you understand where I'm getting at.
