I'm talking about ecosystems here but thanks for assuming I'm antivaxxer. Disease and sickness is also part of mother nature's ecosystem controls, we've just kinds learned to beat that part.

My point was simply that there are a lot of things we do "better than nature", though we are a part of nature anyways so the distinction is arbitrary.
