Neither of these diseases have been 'cured', they are only avoided with immunizations. If you were to get one of these diseases there would be no cure. But you are correct, they have been just about eliminated. These were really the last major medical breakthroughs and it was 50 years ago. It is obvious conventional medicine is interested only in coming up with new drugs to treat symptoms rather than cure anything.
