Over here, measles hits mostly kids, but if anything, the new measles epidemic seems to have made antivaxxers double down.
Yeah it's tragic, but I think it can be "explained" in that incorrect idea that measles isn't that bad, really, and it was "natural" to get it. I don't know the exact lethality differences between the diseases in question - just that for an otherwise healthy 20 year old university student, being forced to stay at home because of a disease mostly killing octogenarians is easier to protest against than something that's killing you and your fellow ravers.
