The only human disease that has been eradicated is smallpox. What did that get relabeled to?

  Yeah this is the funniest anti-vax stance I've ever heard. I'm really interested to hear what other diseases we've apparently eradicated without telling anyone.

    Measles and chickenpox aren't even similar pathogens. Chickenpox is more closely related to herpes! (That's also why chickenpox can come back later in life as shingles, the same way cold sores recur... because shingles is reactivated chickenpox, it's not a "relabeled" virus...)
