> people would rather let their children die.

I see that your are yourself in a position you didn't reason you into.

There wad that kid that died of measles in America and later there was interview with parents. They said basically that. They would change nothing and rather have kid die then get vaccines.

At some point, you have to start believing what people say about themselves and their believes.

And second, yes that is attitude of political actors who spread fear of vaccines to get votes. Overall impact is exactly that and they know.
