I think this is a predictable response to a healthcare system characterized by rent seeking and monopoly. People want to exercise greater choice and feel their autonomy is threatened when they have little diversity of options but are financially responsible nevertheless.

To be clear, I'm not antivaccine, and personally make them a priority for myself and family (although I am opposed to mandatory vaccines). I just think that the antivaccine movement, along with things like the supplement industry and recent cannabis legalization efforts are almost inevitable when people are put in a system with few real options and a lot of control. There's pushback, skepticism, and exaggerated response.

Come to think about it, it's funny that we're mystified at all by people exerting a critical eye on something, and expect them to just go along. There has to be a better way.

It's bizarre to me to expect people to unquestionably accept vaccines when their generic drugs are being tainted or poisoned, and they can't afford anything else.
