When it effect the whole population, yes. Going back to polio, it was nearly wiped out but NOW it is starting to make a comeback because no one is vaccinated for it anymore. Small pox on the other hand WAS wiped out and probably only exists in a few hidden labs scattered around the world (and in some terrorists labs).
And again, if your one of the 1-2% who don't vaccinate your kids then you still benefit from the 98-99% who do.
Where is polio making a comeback? Last I heard it was only an issue in parts of Africa and parts of India. It was never eradicated as smallpox was.
And I'm anti-vax. If someone would like information as to why, I would highly recommend Sherri Tenpenny's book Saying No To Vaccines. She was an ER doctor that believed what the medical establishment was telling her, and when people came in to the ER with physical issues that happened a day or two after a vaccine, she would tell them it was just a coincidence. Until she went to a medical conference that discussed covering up vaccine related adverse reactions, and starting doing her own research.
Most of us were vaccinated with no adverse reactions. Some were not. And just recently in the news we saw the report that vaccines had caused or contributed to autism was false.
We would be better off if we taught children and some adults, how to wash their hands correctly. It should be a main part of our hygiene.

It streeses me a lot when it comes time for my kids to get vaccinations. Especially the live vaccines.

The problem is that in previous generations, there were far fewer vaccines given. People still had adverse reactions, but on a smaller scale. According to the current CDC schedule, children should be given 31 vaccines by the time they are 2 yrs old. Multiply the number of vaccines and you multiply the number of adverse reactions. Auto immune diseases are on the rise in children, but of course, it's just a coincidence, along with the rise in autism and autism spectrum disorders.
Other than polio. I really don't know what we were vaccinated against in the 50's.
