Weak argument. Because, apparently the same man states abortion causes breast cancer with inconclusive evidence.
And there are 2 main reasons that people are getting sick or sicker than 20~30 years ago: Stupidity and becoming immune.
Stupidity because people believe more and more that vaccines do more harm than good. We had wiped out whooping cough to its lowest levels in the previous generations. Then, all of a sudden, the conspiracy theory of "immunizations do more harm than good" caused it to come back. This may also be the case with measles.
By the way, I found this article: http://www.unicef.org/media/media_20609.html
Good thing the United Nations stepped in.
Which leads to immunity. After awhile, the body becomes resistant to a drug which then leads to a stronger drug. It's probable that because of the steady drop in immunizations that there was a drop in the funding. Those who took the drug become more immune to the drug while the diseases become stronger. Lower funding for diseases means less research and development for them. We've barely scratched the surface of drugs already. Who's to say that the vaccines are at fault 100% of the time as well?
*Note that it also didn't say how often they were vaccinated.
According to this article, 5%~15% can still get measles even after the shot.
