Those millions are already dead. That is precisely why we go through so much effort to develop vaccines, and precisely what they are designed to prevent. Don't ask me where they are, they're under your feet.
What I don't quite understand is where she is getting her wrong information from. There have been quite a few epidemics where people have died since the first vaccine was invented in 1796.
She seems to forget that people travel to places where the disease is endemic and get it there then even though it isn't endemic to the US they bring it back and outbreaks start as can be seen in the Measles outbreak of 2003 in a PA boarding school (started by a 17 year old that visited Beirut).
