You had all of your silver amalgamate fillings removed, right? Go back and look at the history books as to causes of death 100 years ago. Mumps, measles, influenza, and the pox were major killers, especially on the young. I am glad we live in the 21st century and have vaccines so that my body can outlive my mind and I can wither away in a nursing home.

Wrong.
All the big diseases were conquered by our rising economy and the industrial revolution’s advance. Our ‘poor’ live better than the middle class of much of the world. Better food, water, and shelter. Better sanitary systems in the cities accounts for the reduction of the epidemics that had risen in the dark ages.
Both Polio and Smallpox were effectively controlled BEFORE the vaccines were produced. Polio was actually given new life by the Salk vaccine, both in the US, and in the Soviet Union, due to the presence of SV 40 in the vaccine.
