There's is a conspiracy, just like there's a conspiracy regarding global warming. In both cases academics use science and math to advocate for, in an unfortunately obtuse manner, policies that are politically infeasible if taken at face value. And academics being academics, they won't get behind watered-down, compromise measures as that would seem like capitulation on the truth of the matter. While none of this is secret, these groups definitely do plot, both formally and informally.
Also, the anti-vaccine movement seems more leftish than rightish as it seems to correlate with higher incomes and education (paradoxically), and over the past several decades higher income and college educated brackets have strongly shifted Democratic.
Obviously not good education. I see anti vaccine nonsense from both sides, with the common theme being contrarian and not trusting big government or corporations, and thinking highly of themselves because they think they have some insider scoop on what is going on.
