I've never thought this way before, but after reading the story of that woman it hit me.
You're someone, perhaps with low education, and your baby is diagnosed autism. He/she had a vaccine some times ago. As most human being you're looking at something or someone to blame.
And then you hear of the rumors about relation between vaccines and autism. You surely connect the dots.
And start talking to friends and family.
And the rumor grows.
I have a better understanding of why now.
Still frightening.

You and and your siblings all turned out fat and diabetic, and you've all got fat children, and you've concluded that maybe some of those government recommendations were driven more by politics and preservation of profit than by science. So now you are inclined to be skeptical of government recommendations, especially where the recommended actions benefit someone with a big lobbying apparatus.
