It's interesting that the article is talking about measles incidence, but the graph is of deaths from measles. Deaths from measles dropped as supportive care improved and societies industrialized and had better access to that care. If you look at the actual rate of measles infections they paint a different picture about the vaccines effectiveness.

Results A greater than 92% decline in cases and a 99% or greater decline in deaths due to diseases prevented by vaccines recommended before 1980 were shown for diphtheria, mumps, pertussis, and tetanus. Endemic transmission of poliovirus and measles and rubella viruses has been eliminated in the United States; smallpox has been eradicated worldwide. Declines were 80% or greater for cases and deaths of most vaccine-preventable diseases targeted since 1980 including hepatitis A, acute hepatitis B, Hib, and varicella. Declines in cases and deaths of invasive S pneumoniae were 34% and 25%, respectively.
