I did not mean to be belligerent in my response and I'm sorry if I offended you.

As I said above, in the Western world, sanitation and other interventions both contributed to our current state of health. As the graph I linked to shows, antibiotics haven't appreciably changed the rate of decline of infectious disease. This is no way means that antibiotics and/or vaccines are ineffective. As you point out, looking at specific diseases shows that these interventions are helpful.

Here's the data for measles if folks are interested - there was indeed a remarkable drop after the institution of the vaccine[1].
