For most diseases improvements in public sanitation and hygiene reduced the rate of infection, the vaccine had almost nothing to do with it.
1-in-68 children are afflicted by ASD. The effects of the MMR vaccine are much worse than the associated diseases ever were.

First . THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THE MMR AND AUTISM. NONE.
It’s been studied to death and there is ZERO evidence of causality.
Second. Measles mumps and Rubella all have significant morbidity and some mortality associated with infection. I remember when young girls had “German Measles parties” so they could get infected to avoid getting later when pregnant.
Don’t want to get your kids vaccinated? DON’T.

One other thing. You don't even know how to interpret that graph. It shows the DEATH rate, not the annual number of infections. Thats a function of the fact that we made HUGE strides in medicine during that 150 years. In fact US cases were estimated to be 4 MILLION a year until the vaccine.
With a fatality rate of 0.3% thats STILL 12000 deaths a year. Not to mention the cases of deafness, blindness, and Subacute Pansclerosing Encephalitis. And thats JUST THE MEASLES COMPONENT OF THE MMR.
