Talking Point #06 - Did Vaccines Really Save Us?
Looking at the Historical & Vital Statistics of 5 Deadly Diseases
October is Vaccine Injury Awareness Month, and with Alexis Lorenze’s story of vaccine injury going viral on social media, it’s time to update the VaxSafety.org website, this Substack, and my new Instagram! I’ll be posting 60 talking points that break this conversation into easily digestible parts, making it accessible for everyone, even kids. So, let’s put on our black ribbons for awareness and spread the word. Feel free to share widely, and check back anytime for updates, as I’ll be adding more information as needed.
Contrary to common belief, deaths from infectious diseases in the U.S. decreased by 85-90% before vaccines were introduced. This trend was also observed in diseases that lacked vaccines, such as scarlet fever, tuberculosis, cholera, and typhoid. The decline in mortality rates was primarily attributed to advancements in modern sanitation systems, including clean water, electricity, sewage systems, and trash collection.
It’s amazing how washing our hands with soap and water helps combat the spread of infectious diseases. In addition, having access to toilets means we don’t have to walk through human waste in the streets. We can cook and refrigerate our food and properly dispose of trash, keeping rats, bugs, and diseases at bay.
Check out this graph created by Brandy Vaughn from Learn The Risk, which illustrates the drop in infectious diseases before vaccines were introduced.
How is this possible? The pharmaceutical and medical industries have spent millions convincing us that vaccines are the primary reason we overcame these diseases. However, history suggests this narrative is more of a marketing tactic than a fact—one that helped sustain the nearly $60 billion vaccine market in 2022.
The vaccine market worldwide is projected to grow by 3.64% (2024-2029), resulting in a market volume of US$88.61bn in 2029. https://www.statista.com/outlook/hmo/pharmaceuticals/vaccines/worldwide
The vaccine market (including COVID-19 vaccines) is projected to reach $94.9 billion by 2029 from $78.0 billion in 2024. https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/vaccine-technologies-market-1155.html
Consider these additional talking points:
Smallpox was eradicated in the U.S. in 1949, and vaccination was subsequently discontinued. This is the only instance in history where a disease has been eradicated through vaccination in humans. However, this claim is debatable; some argue that improved handwashing and sanitation practices may have also played a significant role in its eradication.
While polio has not been 100% eradicated, the type of polio that is currently spread is not wild polio but rather vaccine-derived polio, resulting from vaccine shedding.
None of the diseases we currently vaccinate against have been fully eradicated. Consider the flu, COVID-19, whooping cough, and others. Do these vaccines truly work?
All vaccines carry the risk of side effects. How can you know if you or your child will be among those who experience a bad reaction? Remember the cupcake analogy.
So, it begs the question… Did vaccines really save us?

Plus the 1000's of other infectious diseases that begin with the letters D-Z. There are literally THOUSANDS.
Take Leprosy for instance. The reason you don't fear leprosy is that there isn't a vaccine for it.
Wondering how many parents walk around daily concerned about their child contracting leprosy? It still exists - by the thousands in various parts of the world. The United States has roughly 200 cases every year. Did you know that? I didn't until I looked it up.
Don't you think it's weird that there was hysteria over 140 measles cases (where no one died or was permanently harmed) and you hear exactly ZERO about 200 cases of leprosy? 🤔
Everyone knows when there is a measles outbreak. It's all over the local news here that there are THREE cases of chicken pox in LA (ahem, in vaccinated kids *sips tea*). How do we not hear about these cases of leprosy? Why aren't you walking around concerned about leprosy every day? Why aren't you concerned about someone from another country bringing leprosy into Australia or the US and somehow exposing all of our most vulnerable to this illness?
I'll tell you why.
Because there's no vaccine for leprosy.
You are afraid of what we vaccinate for because these illnesses are hyped up all of the time. It's propaganda. You are told what to fear, so they can then sell you an alleged solution.
Measles and others is a concern for you because you are told that it should be. But you don't walk around fearing leprosy. Your children haven't contracted it either.
Funny how that all works, isn't it?
The only diseases we fear are the ones that a vaccine has been developed and marketed for. We never feared measles and mumps in the early 20th century...
So why do we fear it now? Because its what the media tells us to do.
