i'll try to be positive and appreciate that no one has yet come on to cite the downside of soap.
we all stand at the current pinnacle of human life expectancy. it wasn't superstition or personal testimonial that got us here. we gave up that demon haunted world for this one.

That's all great, but with improvements in sanitation, these killer germs were already greatly diminished in the amount of people they killed. Fact, death rates frequently went back up when a vaccine for that disease was introduced.
You are also wrong about life expectancy, if you are big enough to factor out infant mortality rates, which admittedly, is no small thing.
Basically, if you survived past ten 100 years ago, you were likely to outlive yourself today.
And finally, what imagined vaccine conspiracy are you referring to? The one where vaccines work?
How do you know vaccines really do work anyways? Have you done any looking into the matter at all, or are you just saying that out of some knee jerk reaction that the powers that be really do care for our well being?
When faced with ugly truths, it's real easy to dismiss things with a shrug and say "nah, that can't be true".
