So let's set aside the autism controversy, and focus on something important, are vaccines useful? Did we as human beings make a grand mistake, a scientific error in the effectiveness in vaccines with their "place" in history?
For you see, I have friend, and he was never vaccinated(You can be unvaccinated in the USA, they are not mandatory, if you know your rights as a civilian). And get this, he never got sick in life! And he's also not a weeaboo, he's very healthy and he's banged a couple bitches in his lifetime.
Now an argument from the pro-vaxx crowd says, that my friend is only safe, because of "herd immunity." Which states that the surrounding vaccinated populace creates some sort of shield around him, and "that's" why he does not get sick.
Well, do I have a counter argument for you!
For starters, vaccines actually have a waning effectiveness rate that drops year by year. As sited in sauce: The Globe and noted neurosurgeon Russel Blaylock.

So that means, by the 10 year or so, the vaccine traces will have left the body.
Which means, the biggest percentage of the American population, the baby boomers, are akin to being practically vaccinated, since their initial vaccines "wore off"
So, my friend in this case is not protected by a shield of metaphorical(and literal) "sheep in a herd". In fact, he could considered fine and healthy because he just takes care of himself and uses common sense.
Finally, the kicker,
If someone, vaccinated or not, is exposed to a communicable disease, but doesn't get sick from it, that individual is unknowingly going to be spreading the pathogen everywhere he or she goes, including infecting the most vulnerable. Someone who falls ill with chicken pox, measles, etc., will stay home in bed, thereby avoiding exposing others outside the household, and even those caring for him/her will be aware of preventive hygiene to avoid contamination.
