I'll sound like a conspiracy theorist here but hear me out.
The anti-vaxx movement is a successful underground propaganda attack by the Russians to weaken the population. They are also behind the election of unfit leaders and anti-European (read: anti-unity) sentiments, or more broadly speaking, making people argue about internal affairs so they're no longer a strong front against the outside world.
Where's the state funded counter propaganda? There used to be propaganda posters that portrayed not vaccinating as un-American and / or working with the enemy.
You could make the exact same argument about the ecological movements opposing nuclear power generation. Not sure if that goes along, or perhaps across, the point you are making.
It still strikes me as one of the greatest ironies in the last half century, that in trying to protect the environment from contamination from nuclear accidents, many encormnetalists have committed and condemned us to this path of climate change. Some even going as far as directly taking funds from big oil/coal.
