The incidence of many of the childhood infectious diseases has declined over the years.
This has been attributed to the success of the immunisation programme, but:

Scarlet fever has shown a similar pattern of decline even though there has been no immunisation programme

Many of the infectious diseases were in decline because of improvements in hygiene etc. even before the immunisation programme was introduced

Many doctors will not diagnose a patient as suffering from a particular infection if the patient has been immunised against it, even if the patient is showing all the symptoms of having the disease; sometimes this leads to a "renaming" of diseases, e.g. symptoms of polio in vaccinated people are often classified as aseptic meningitis rather than polio.

The risk of immunisation may be much greater than medically recognised because:

Many of the medical studies showing limited side-effects have only looked at the effects for a few days after immunisation

Some of the effect of the vaccination may be there immediately but not easily observable.
e.g. has been suggested that immunisation alters the ratio of T helper cells and T-suppresser cells;
this could be a factor in the increase in allergies among children

Some immunisations are only temporary or give partial immunity;
they become ineffective during adult life when the complications of the disease are much more dangerous

Natural immunity gives life-time protection;
natural immunity is gained from childhood illness when the disease is generally mild in wellnourished children (e.g. measles can cause blindness but if Vitamin A is given at the same time the possibilities of complications are dramatically reduced)

Lack of natural immunity could mean that mothers are unable to pass on placental immunity to their babies, making babies too young to be vaccinated susceptible to measles, etc

Live attenuated viruses are capable of reversion to wild-type parent strains capable of producing disease in inoculated people

Reducing the prevalence of one strain of a virus can allow another possibly more deadly strain to proliferate

After vaccination cell-mediated immunity is suppressed for a time- this can allow infection in or allow a latent infection to become an acute attack

In U.K. wide scale immunisation against childhood infections began in 1950's
It is argued by some that vaccination leads to general immune suppression with an increase in allergies, recurrent infections, auto-immune diseases, and degenerative diseases.

Parasite: “any organism living in or on any other living creature and deriving advantage from doing so, while causing disadvantage to the host” BMA Complete Family Health Encyclopaedia.

Parasites are commonly acquired by eating contaminated meat, swallowing eggs on food, contaminating fingers with faecal material or through contact with infected water.
