Meh. It looks like the UK's measles problem at least was mainly caused by the mainstream media acting as a vector for disinformation back in 1998, before most people had internet access: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/769970/UK_measles_and_rubella_elimination_strategy.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... Current childhood vaccination rates are much better than they were back then, but unfortunately there are still a lot of people who're now in their teens and early twenties who have no immunity because they missed out on vaccinations.
This obviously does vary from country to country. Greece's big problem is more the complete destruction of its economy over the past decade and the vast damage this has done to healthcare access there.
