I am fervently pro-vaccination however it seems a bit lazy to attribute the problem to anti-vaccinationists even though they are a scourge. The main outbreak is serbia, romania and ukraine so poverty and conflict have likely played a role in reducing vaccination program fulfillment. Large movements of groups from shattered north african countries without vaccination programs are probably a component as well.

Even if this is the case, these are not reasons to go mild on people that voluntarily forgo their vaccinations. Quite the opposite actually it makes it even more important that everyone that can get their vaccination does get it.
