Yes, by choosing the most extreme people to be the face of criticism of vaccines, the valid criticisms - such as the rampant US-led programmes re: HPV, the flu, and so on - were obscured, and we may now be facing a sort of backlash to this, meaning that these extremists (the kind that insist sugar is toxic due to the whitening process, or that "keto" is a valid methoed for dieting and so on) may well pull the Overton-window so far the other way we'll again see outbreaks of the old plagues.
