The irony is, 90 percent of the people here would not be here if it were not for vaccines.

And you get that figure from where? Vaccines help, to be sure, but I can't see where you come up with the figure 90%.

I did not present it as science or fact but as rhetoric to make a point. However, if you were to go back and apply the mortality rates associated with the diseases that we have been vaccinating for since Edward Jenner came up the “cowpox” vaccine in 1796 I would be willing to bet that something close to 90 percent of us would not be here today. But whether it is 90 percent or 50 percent it would translate into tens of millions — if not billions — over the course of 200 years not having ever been born. And thus, the majority of those who protest and refuse to vaccine would not even be here.
