The measles has existed for generations. People would make sure their children had it early because it can be fatal in adults. |
To address this: Yes, surely as we evolved from apes, nobody had vaccines. But guess what: people died more often. People in the stone age lived around 30-40 years. As we started to live in cities and produce crops, the life expüectancy even shortened. More people lived together and were was more trading so the chance for epedemics were increased. But these days the life expectancy in modern societies is over 70 years. One among many reasons is, that vaccination reduces by far the risk of epedemics, that kill thousands of people in short timeframes.
