Perhaps. We don't know for sure. But, the real question is does a government goon with a gun to your head, telling you you must take a shot cause you more harm than theoretically catching some disease. The answer is unequivocally yes.
If you want to get a vaccine, knock yourself out. They shouldn't be forced, however.
I don't disagree with you. Don't want the vaccine? Don't get one. My point was that from the thousands that suffered with polio the vaccine basically wiped it out and saved millions of lives, enter the government of today. Thats where it runs off the tracks.
More information related to this is in the article that OP linked, where the vaccine researcher states that he believes that improved living conditions, nutrition, and general health had more to do with diseases declining than vaccines.
As more kids go unvaccinated, though, we're starting to see more disease outbreaks.
Also, some of this guy's knowledge may be outdated, at least for certain vaccines; though it may raise other questions. I recall some uproar where a vaccine was discovered to not be what that country's medical association's records said it would be, but instead was a "macromolecule" with antigens embedded. This would be a superior method to trigger sensitivity, and would be easier to purify, but the question on whether it was tested properly remained open.
Not the only notable possible factor: areas with high immigration have a higher likelihood of outbreaks of old diseases, regardless of vaccinaton rates of the native population.
It would solve a lot of debate to just study vaccine efficiacy and safety, something that has never been done, like every other drug or similar product. Makes you wonder why they don't (and it's highly debatable whether ethics are the reason).
We’re seeing more outbreaks because the vaccinated population is getting weaker and weaker. Our country is getting more sickly which is putting us back in years to when the diseases were prominent.
Good health and sanitation is what keeps a nation healthy, not injecting ourselves with heavy metals.

Did Smallpox and polio cause more harm than the vaccine? Simple answers to simple questions.
