Disingenuous. "Of course, vaccines are natural—they're derived from the naturally-occurring pathogen itself." Growing something in a lab on animal tissue and then injecting it into the bloodstream of an otherwise healthy person could hardly be called "natural".
Being exposed to all sorts of unaltered viruses and microbes in one's environment, which pass through the bodies defensive mechanisms BEFORE entering the bloodstream IS what the body has evolved to deal with and IS natural.
Still, people should have the choice to have the vaccines if they feel they need them. See them as a kind of insurance or booster to the bodies natural defenses- but that doesn't make them essential.
It's up to the individual to choose, just like the choice to live a healthy life, get regular outdoor exercise and eat well, is up to the individual to decide.
