Vaccines for polio and MMR have saved 100s of millions of lives. The problem is that nobody believes a liar even when they are telling the truth.

Really? What was the death rate for measles immediately before the vaccine was introduced?

I can tell you: In 1963, just before a vaccination for measles existed, there were (IIRC) 400-500 deaths in 3-4,000,000 cases. That would be a death rate of .01%. Ten times less than what we see for flu these days. That is according to cdc.gov.
