Except that the eradication of polio via vaccination has saved countless millions from unimaginable horrors and lifelong disabilities or death. Ditto for smallpox*. And vaccines for other communicable diseases.

* Smallpox was responsible for an estimated 300–500 million deaths during the 20th century alone and the disease persisted into the 1960s before it was eradicated in one of the most successful vaccination campaigns ever.
