I was vaccinated against MMR, I still got measles as a toddler (german measles? I don't even know if that's the same thing), and scarlet fever as a 9 year old (which fucked my immune system and heart for life). I've never known anyone else in my life who has had scarlet fever, they say it was eradicated so fuck me I guess. I'm all for vaccines, I got my kids vaccinated (although now I question it)... but I seriously doubt they are even half as good as is claimed. I think better hygiene, technology, and other medical treatments help just as much.
