Which God do you believe in?
God who made the world
Maimonides writes what it means to live a healthy life (De'ot chapter 4). In there he says that anyone who follows his advice of what to eat and how to go about taking care of oneself is GUARANTEED to not get sick.
Does he mean that such a person will never contract an illness? I don't think so. He probably means that the person will not have a chronic issue. But of course people get sick and get over it.
We understand the concept of a reboot. Sometimes a computer needs to be restarted to get past whatever has frozen it. Sometimes a body's immune system needs to reboot, and the way it does that is through illnesses that jumpstart that process. We are talking about natural illnesses that go through the body in the natural way (as opposed to introduced to the body through a needle in the arm or leg and into a muscle).
A doctor's job is to heal. To advise on what it means to ready the body for these illnesses, and how to best handle working through them.
God who gave Man the wisdom to create vaccines
God gave Man the knowledge to figure out how to create vaccines. And every other pharmaceutical product. Most pharmaceutical drugs (ie anti-biotics) are created to be given to people who are sick, infected, with a disease, to treat the malady. These all come with warnings about who is to take them because they are imperfect.
They do wonderful and amazing things! But they are man-made. And they carry risks.
Vaccines are made to be given to people who are healthy. When they do not cause adverse reactions they are fine. Anyone who wants to take them is free to take them. That vaccines prevent "Vaccine-preventable diseases" is a wonderful belief to have. The manufacturers know they are not 100% effective. And while some people get vaccines and are (or seem to be) fine, it is also true that getting the vaccine creates a dependency for life - even and especially as vaccines' effectiveness wanes every 10-20 years. [Some people would rather they or their children get the illness and then develop natural life-long immunity]
Do not think that the phrase "שומר פתאים ה'" applies to them. Just as smoking, making poor eating choices, and taking anything recreationally carries a risk, so do putting into our bodies chemicals formulated to affect and manipulate our immune system.
For more on this, see the ingredients of vaccines. Do you want to put this stuff in your body through a format that is not made to reject the parts that are harmful to the body (digestive system and other forms of natural "osmosis to the body" are very differently created than a system of non-rejection (injection) which is coupled with ingredients, adjuvants and stimulants that can combine to make a toxic soup whose longer-term (and sometimes shorter-term) impact is a game of Russian roulette.
God that is Pharma
Everything made by the Pharmaceutical company is like Manna from heaven. It is perfect in design. It is perfect in execution. It is never to be questioned.
