Refrigeration definitely reduced the prevalence of GI cancers, esp stomach, because we are eating less salted/preserved meat.
Regarding vaccination, currently we still have "herd immunity" because most people from my generation (X) got the standard vaccines. People being born these days are getting considerably fewer vaccines, sometimes to their advantage, and some of which will incur more troublesome infectious outbreaks in the future as the herd immunity declines.
Oh, and the suicides that the study is reporting are all by gun. They did not report on the other ways to kill yourself, which are many. I would be interested to see those numbers too.
