The proliferation of vaccines for any and all childhood diseases goes way to far. Smallpox was a given due to its deadliness. German measles too as they caused birth defects to the unborn.

Well, yes, if they weather them, but the dead ones don’t. Their survival is based on the same principles of immunoligical response as is the use of vaccines. However, vaccines don’t contain the live agent in most cases or perhaps a much smaller dose of an agent that has low virulence.
Not necessarily. The child may end up with lifelong problems because he or she survived a bout of a vaccine-preventable disease. They can become brain damaged. Their hearts can be damaged. Etc. Some diseases, like chickenpox, are never eradicated from the body, but remain hidden, like time bombs, waiting for the right conditions to emerge and cause disease again.
