Alternatively, Alex Jones could be right, and they're sophisticated tools to sterilize the vast majority of people.

This is obviously ridiculous, but it's why you should always have a control group.

Nope. The world didn't keep a control group for smallpox, even in the most distant villages. We simply eradicated it.

Smallpox wasn't eradicated by the vaccine. It wore itself out, and the (incredibly simple) vaccine helped a bit.
