Growing distrust of governments, corporations, mainstream institutions and the media is feeding growing anti-vaccine sentiment.
I don't see this reversing any time soon and heavy-handed tactics by governments to force vaccine compliance is only feeding this sentiment.
I think the answer is for each group: pro-vax and anti-vax, to accept their differing views and to not attempt to force their views on the opposing camp.
This means: anti-vaxxers not banning vaccines altogether, so pro-vaxxers can't receive them, and pro-vaxxers not requiring anti-vaxxers to receive vaccines for themselves or their children that they don't want.
This logical and respectful action would reduce the fever pitch at which the current vaccine debate is being conducted.
After all, any attempt by the state to usurp the people's free will will be met with resistance and things could get ugly if governments continue with their current coercive practices.
People don't like being told what to do, especially in such a contentious area, and so it would be wise for governments and pro-vaxxers to back off and let people make their own decisions for their health and the health of their families, if they don't want things to blow apart and government leaders to be maimed or killed for pushing their agenda on people.
