Historian here, a few points:
• People still do die at 30 sometimes.
• Historical lifespans are low because of babies dying during infancy, men in war, and women in childbirth.
• Increases in average lifespan are due to improvements in obstetrics and neonatal care, the professionalization of the military, not vaccines.
