And the same argument can be made about antibiotics. If there were no antibiotics, there would be no antibiotic-resistant bacteria. So should we get rid of antibiotics?

What we don’t do with antibiotics is proscribe them wildly for everything. Because the more you use a given antibiotic, the more likely a spontaneous mutation of a given bacteria will evade it.
That’s why hospitals, which tend to use a lot of antibiotics, is where you go to find the “best” (worst) infectious bacteria.
It’s also why we need to keep coming up with new antibiotics as we’re in an “arms” race with the ever more deadly forms of bacteria.
A ‘leaky’ vaccine will lead to vaccine resistant strains, which is what he has said many time. It’s basic evolutionary biology.
They also invented various Tetracyclines to replace antibiotics, if the population was dosed so heavily back in the 50s and 60s.
