I'm pretty sure that life expectancy had a huge effect on the world population. In 1950, the world population was under 3 billion. Before 1950 the average life expectancy in the world was never over 50. In 1900, it was only 31! This is thanks to modern medicine and the development of vaccines. That is why our population has grown so quickly over the past century. You also have to keep in mind that infant mortality has gone way down.

Nope. It is due to hygiene. ...

Cool

Is there any chance you can find some proof of that? ...

Note when, in the decline of all of these diseases, vaccination was actually put into play. That's pretty strong proof of their actual impact and effectiveness. Indeed, looking at the data one could logically conclude that they are 100% snake oil. I don't believe they are, but they are certainly not the miracle they are marketed to be by the medical/industrial complex.

Well, in this graph it does look like the diphtheria vaccine had a great positive influence. It in very interesting though to see how little some of the others have made a difference. I don't think the data implies that they are 100% snake oil at all. I'm happy to finally see you acknowledge that you don't think that either. I agree with you that it is unwise to think that "vaccine" must mean that it's great idea to just get it. I think some vaccines are more useful than others. There are some that I'm sure it would be pointless to get. If you work with wild animals often, for example, it would be a very good idea to have a rabies vaccine. Rabies can kill you in 7 days, if not treated.
