My impression reading this is that they admit it's mostly attributable to people not going to the doctor during Covid, but that they'd really like to have a narrative that "misinformation" is causing this. What bothers me is that media and politicians like to pretend that hesitancy about covid vaccination is the same as legitimate nutters that don't believe on polio or measles vaccination. And what actually happens is that it sort of becomes true, because it makes fewer people trust the authorities (because they blatantly lie) and so "if they're not being honest about covid vaccination, why should we believe them about measles" and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy Anyway, it seems from this article that it's less of a problem than it could have been, and hopefully as the covid hysteria recedes, most people will go back to getting the the normal childhood vaccinations for their kids
