I am asking are people against the polio vaccine, or measles, or mumps vaccines etc… These vaccines saved a lot of lives - including the chicken pox vaccine — and improved our lives.

Those diseases were already massively on the decline due to improved sanitation before most of the vaccines came out.

Additionally, medical treatment for disease complications has improved DRAMATICALLY since the 60's with the advent of antibiotics, antivirals, and steroids (Anti-inflammatories) What needs to happen and has not, is to compare the outcome with those childhood diseases with other treatment than vaccines to see if the complications could be prevented. I realize the problems with that approach, but it's something worth considering especially for someone who has decline the vaccines.

So going after the common childhood vaccinations when the concern is the plethora of other needless ones because *what if* (like with HPV and Hepatitis for example) is disingenuous and smacks of simply wanting to label someone as an anti-vaxxer.
