Anti-vaxxers come in many flavors, many of which have little to do with vaccinations. In a way, it's a self-limiting problem: If they die because of their anti-vaxx beliefs, then the world is improved because there are fewer anti-vaxx idiots.
86 unvaccinated kids in Ohio recently had a measles outbreak. 36 of them ended up in the hospital. It doesn't help that anti-vaxxers tend to gather in groups, in terms of contagion spread. These are often church or school groups with a religious objection to vaccinations. These folks might want to think about the Shakers: They are becoming extinct because they have a religious requirement of celibacy.
