The vaccine is not perfect. Some who are vaccinated will still get infected if exposed. Because of that fact, and the fact that a high percentage of people are vaccinated, it makes sense that the majority of people infected are also already vaccinated. The key is to look at the percentage of those immunized who get it vs the percentage of those not immunized who get it. If you look at those numbers you will see that it makes sense to be immunized. Also, just because a person does not die from the disease does not mean there is no cost from being infected. Loss of time from work, cost of medical care, etc can be huge. Immunization is a cheap alternative to getting sick.

Until 1998, when I actually started finding out the truth about the dangers and ineffectiveness of vaccination, I was ignorant about the issue.
The MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine was manufactured using fetal tissue from aborted babies. Bowel problems and many other reactions are common as a result of this live-virus vaccine.
It is simply not true that once you are vaccinated, you are unlikely to ever get the illness. Two of my children got rectal measles, according to our physician, and this was soon after their second doses of the MMR. Another of my children had bowel problems for many years, starting within a month of the second dose.
Study the package insert for more information. This small print insert is obtained by asking your health care provider or pharmacist, or by going to the manufacturer's website. Then, study other materials, such as that of Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, in order to make an informed decision.
A healthy immune system is supported by a healthy life-style. This includes consumption of plenty of raw vegetables and fruits and their raw juices.
