It's straight up science denial.

Human beings are very good at this. There should be a psychological study on the need of the masses to aggressively go against what they know is real, and deny it with all their will. "The Earth isn't round!" "Evolution isn't real!" and so on.

True! I'm going to look up if there is any study about this

It really doesn't explain it much. Or does it? The American healthcare system is shady and corrupted -> people by reaction decide that vaccines are dangerous -> people will go out of their way to decide vaccines are dangerous. Ok, sure. But how does that explain that reaction to a bad healthcare system was to decide to ignore vaccines?

The vaccine problem also comes from a fake reaserch made by a doctor that correlated autism with the use of vaccines. It was later proved that he was paid by a pharmaceutical company to make such article and he lost his medical degree.
