To attribute the decline in mortality to vaccination is clearly illogical. Obviously, there are other factors which determine an organism s virulence and the benefit of vaccination needs to be scrutinized. Many holistic health care providers feel that vaccination is not the best use of the health care dollar. Measles has not been the cause of death in the USA for many years. In third world countries, however, it kills thousands, but only where there is gross malnutrition and poverty.
Vaccination is the high tech solution that really is no solution.
With regards to hepatitis B, we should be spending the money on vaccinations on educating children on hygiene and drug and sex education instead. Not only would this reduce hepatitis B but also AIDS and other STDs. If someone wants to follow a more risky lifestyle let that person choose those vaccinations which may be of individual benefit, but to vaccinate everyone is unnecessary, costly and with potential adverse side effects. Also, the vaccination may encourage a moral and sexual degradation. Holistic health care providers know that the only cause of polio in the USA since 1980 has been the polio vaccination itself.
