* Can you explain why measles deaths fell by over 98% in the USA before there was a vaccine?

* Can you explain why measles deaths fell by 99.8% in the UK before there was a vaccine?

* Can you explain why while smallpox vaccination was declining (1939 England – Only about 34% of children are vaccinated against smallpox. - Derrick Baxby, “The End of Smallpox,” History Today, March 1999, pp. 14-16) In the United States the 72,946 smallpox in 1902 fell to 9,877 in 1939, an 86.5% decrease. The 2,510 smallpox deaths in 1902 fell to 38 in 1939, a 98.5% decrease. The case/fatality rate of 4.24 in 1900 fell to 0.38 in 1939, a 91% decrease.

Can it be explained without explaining the effect better hygiene, sanitation and nutrition had on health credited to vaccines, but without actual proof?

For example:

(1) Why did many take to drinking alcoholic beverages rather than water?

(2) Did boiling or distilling water before drinking it, make a difference in whether people contracted certain diseases?

(3) What happened when people better cooked pork and other meat they ate?

(4) What happened when people didn't get enough vitamin C, D and other vitamins and minerals, then did?
