Original Note:
Smallpox was eradicated in 1980, the only infectious human disease to ever have been. Vaccination was instrumental to this, but the virus now only exists in the lab and the vaccine is no longer regularly administered. Thus it's wrong to say vaccines are holding it in check. https://www.who.int/health-topics/smallpox https://www.cdc.gov/smallpox/history/history.html
