If 2 in a hundred children are not vaccinated, this does not equate to a 2% increase in disease incidence. We are comparing the incidence of the disease itself to before and after the vaccinations started dropping.
I think you are jumping to conclusions by attributing a 6000% increase in VPD to a slight decrease in childhood vaccination rates. I think that there are many other possibilities for this increase that having nothing at all to do with vaccinations. There is no proof that it is due to less people vaccinating.

There certainly is ample proof that vaccinating decreased diseases!
Vaccination rates of children have dropped. However, the autism rate has gone up. We can conclude that vaccinations have nothing to do with autism.
