Selfishness, mostly. Anti-Vac people have been around forever and my grandma swears to this day that the old MMR vaccine gave my aunt mental issues. My mom fortunately just played it off as 'she was already not bright' and vaccinated but a lot of it is fear and a terrible grounding in history. People growing up today haven't seen the mass illnesses of smallpox first hand and people crippled by polio so they think of it as distant and quaint instead of realizing the reason they don't see it was vaccination in the first place. As you've said, you're already seeing their thought processes coming home to roost and once herd immunity gets weak some bad things are going to happen. The increase in autism is mainly tied to better diagnosing and people not relating correlation to causation I believe. It all comes back to selfishness however.
