Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 the fact is that every single disease had already heavily declined by the time the relevant vaccine was introduced. so it simply continued to decline, vax or not. also, some diseases, such as polio, were re-named in order to hide the fact that the vaccine not only did nothing to erase the disease, but in fact, contributed considerably to the disease continuing to strike. as for some vaccines, such as the HIB, vaccines actually did their bit to spread the disease. HIB, before its vaccine came out, was so rare that it was not even notifiable. then the vaccine was recommended/ mandated and HIB became a notifiable disease, because it was suddenly spreading considerably more. hope the above helps. claudia --- Carver <jenjackcarver@...> wrote: > Please someone answer in laymens terms for me.
