Hogwash. Wakefield predated anything Covid. And measles vaccines aren't mRNA and people would rather let their children die.

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.
Trump did tell people to get them? It was his opposition saying they wouldn’t trust a vaccine pushed out by Trump. You’ve basically rewritten history.

Again, trust is a huge factor here.
