No, what you have done is to pick a metric and scale that obscures the effect of vaccines compared to improvements in the availability and quality of medical care to the general population. Of course the death rates had been going down. Sick people were getting better treatment and died less often. This is an expected and good thing in a society with improving standards of living, and a separable causality from vaccination.

There isn't data going fully back to 1900, but here's measles reported cases per 100k (adjusts for effects of changing population size, which the first round of charts did not) back to 1920. Data wasn't even collected nationally in the US until 1912.

You're right. The measles outbreak in Washington is clearly the result of malnourishment.

We actually have some anti-vaxxers on this baord? Jesus fucking Christ. Hopefully all their kids get polio and they don't reproduce.

What's far more likely is that their kids grow up fine, but get measles or some other disease and expose a newborn -- to whom it would be potentially lethal. Even kissing a newborn when you have a cold sore can be lethal. Fucking herpes.
