how the hell did antivaxers become a significant portion of the population
Some people see Jenny McCarthy as a great model and assume she's knows more about health than she does. People put misplaced respect into a guy like Novak Djokovic. It's OK to respect his stance on backhands, but why does anyone care about his stance that he's against vaccines?

Reverence for celebrity also engenders a weird trust in celebrity viewpoints even when they are wildly misguided and completely divorced from a particular celebrity's training/knowledge/experience. Not to say a tennis player and former MTV host started the anti-vax movement, but celebrities can fan the flames of ignorance pretty easily because of how much people pay attention to and trust them.
