The fact that unvaccinated people were infected does not prove that the vaccine was effective. Real science requires a control and experimental group. Not one or the other (and preferably a lot of other factors).
Also, a source I cited mentioned that the MMR vaccine has the side effect of autism.
It's unethical to intentionally expose anyone to a potentially deadly virus, so that's not going to happen. Anyway, it's far more scientifically sound than the smallpox numbers you quoted.
When you're comparing 0% in the vaccinated group to 32% in the unvaccinated group, that's not coincidence. There's simply no way to spin those statistics and say it's possible the two are uncorrelated.
In regard to autism, you've mentioned a case study of 7 British children (note: in Britain the chemical you linked to autism is illegal as a preservative) who showed signs consistent with autism. There are 3/4 of a million children born in Britain every year. Even assuming all 7 are the same age, if MMR has >=95% coverage, that's an incidence rate of 1 in 100,000. For the other 99,999 children, it prevents deadly respiratory illnesses. If everybody stopped taking the vaccine, and started contracting measles again, approximately 300 of those 100,000 would die. So what's worse, 300 deaths or 1 child with signs consistent with ASD?
