I think it is important to remember that there have been many factors involved in dangerous diseases being irradicated, hygeine the main reason. There are many many people including health professionals that do not believe that vaccinations are the main reason that diseases have been wiped out, infact for a long time the only cases of polio in Australia were due to the live vaccine given ( yes, I know it is no longer given, just using an example). I don't think it is a true statement to say that vaccines are of benefit to the greater community, especially at the potential risk to a childs life.
