South Carolina sees 'alarming' increase in measles cases, with 280 in quarantine

Why is there a push against vaccines? Is it paranoia, propaganda fears that it turns you into a slave or do they just want to make sure the healthcare system makes more money?

Likely it’s all of the above.

The original fake study published by Wakefield to push a link between vaccines and autism was directly benefiting him financially through undisclosed interests in a competing vaccine.

I think the main reason is the people who experienced the time before vaccines are dead. Vaccines were always scary but back then the people could see that they prevented bad outcomes. My grandmother grew up with kids crippled by the polio epidemic!

People today just don't know anymore how scary measles is. We lost that knowledge thanks to the success of vaccines!

Yup the technical term is survivorship bias.

Yep. My late father was recruited to vaccinate people in the big polio epidemic in Argentina, probably in 1956. He was still in high school, but it was the oral vaccine and they needed all hands available.
