In short, the anti-vaccine movement is not a joke, it’s not even some mostly-harmless hippy dippy fugueYet slowly but surely we’re turning our back on this success. So where did the anti-vaccine movement come from? It took two weeks and a public campaign by doctors and health professionals to get the ministry to change course.
