Obviously I'd want to understand how those statistics may have been gathered or more likely, estimated. The 1940's and 50's weren't exactly known for reliable data or tracking systems that I'm aware of.
It's not about anyone insinuating. It is fact, if the CDC graph is to be believed. And why wouldn't it? If we can't trust the CDC data from that era because 'they didn't have reliable data or tracking systems' then we can't trust ANY data from that era, including data suggesting that the vaccine drastically reduced the incidence of the disease. We can't have it both ways. Either we trust the data, or we don't. We can't say that data is no good, but then cite other data from the same era.
I suggest watching just 10 seconds of the video, starting at 39:30, with the sound off, to eliminate any bias about that woman's bias. Forget about what she says. What's important here is the data.
The graph clearly shows that polio was already on a steep decline before the vaccine was introduced.
Granted, the video quality is poor, but a clearer version of this very same graph can be found elsewhere. It is the official CDC graph and it exists. It can be found if you care to do so, if you don't trust the one on this video and you want to see the original. It was this very graph that I saw back in 1987, in a book, that was one of the determining factors in my decision. The fact that even the medical system admitted that polio was declining before the vaccine was introduced, carried a lot of weight. It's one thing to be willing to inject poisons into a baby when we are certain there will be a greater benefit - immunity to a deadly disease - and quite another to do so knowing that the poisons might not even do what we're told they will do anyway. So we inject the poisons for...what? For nothing.
Such is the case with measles, surely. It is known that whenever there is a outbreak, most of the children were vaccinated. If the vaccine didn't even protect them, then what is the point of subjecting them to the risks of vaccines?
But getting back to the graph: You speak of scientific evidence. This is it! There is no insinuation, no debate, no question. It is there. It is proof that the medical system lied to us.
We can attempt to justify it all we want, and at the end of the day, we must still make our own decisions about vaccinations. But the fact stands that we've been lied to by the medical system.
This begs the question: Why?
And another question: What else are they lying to us about?
Figures don't lie but liars can figure.
