Oddly enough, the anti-vaccination movement isn't just made up of hippies worried about scary-sounding chemicals. While that tribe is certainly represented, a very large percentage of anti-vaxxers are actually religious conservatives. There's an interesting graduate thesis topic in the making there: what is it about vaccines that causes two groups that are almost always at odds with each other to find common ground when it comes to rejecting modern medical science?
