   Didn't have so many vaccines back then, too.   We got measles, mumps,   
   chicken pox, flu, etc.   Just because we can do something doesn't mean   
   the benefits will outweigh the costs in perpetuity.  Plenty of cases didn't:   
   lead paint, radium paint, leaded gas, asbestos, CFCs, DDT, Thalidomide,   
   PFAs, and most probably: extending life spans artificially by suppressing   
   communicable diseases.
