Thanks for the encouragement.
One of the things that they address is the misconception that vaccines helped get rid of the diseases they were supposed to target. The numbers in the decline before and after the vaccines were released, as well as the spike when the vaccine was released is certainly something to think about.
When I did a search to see if I could find conclusive evidence to the contrary, most official vaccine sites that promote the polio and measles vaccines give vague description of the numbers, but don't give any real timeline charting those numbers so you can properly interpret them. Usually the numbers are cited as saying that there were some 30,000 cases/deaths from polio in the 1950's. Just after they stated that the vaccine was first administered in 1955. But they don't actively connect the two by saying the 30,000 cases were 'before' the vaccine was administered. I'm not necessarily saying that what they're saying is wrong. It's just funny that they always word it so you make the connection without them having to say it. Given the little time that I have, I haven't been able to track down the official numbers from the WHO or CDC. That's one of the things that I'd like to include in my final list of resources.
Here is their explanation.

Edit: I think I completely missed that they included the reference. They started the article off by saying.
