> Vaccination is a form of making them sick to protect them. It gives basically limited case of the disease so the body recognizes it and creates anti-bodies.

Hardly. Many vaccines are made up of dead virus particles. A dead virus cannot cause disease. It causes an immune response, but immune responses are not diseases.

Tree pollen triggers an immune response in me, but that doesn't mean I'm getting a disease every spring.
