How did anti-vaxers go from being a fringe group ignored by most of society to being almost mainstream today?

usually vaccines were just required by babies and kids who had no say, parents mostly would agree to it, some regretted it when it caused autism but there was nothing they could do then. This is like, what if circumcisions were not given to babies but men were given the choice at 18 years of age, most wouldn't do it.

VAERS reports (censored I'm sure) and lots of otherwise healthy folks dropping dead comes to mind.

It's simple, you decided to include people who are fine with traditional vaccines but skeptical of the covid vaccine into your definition of 'anti-vaxer'

Anyone who has seriously looked into vaccine safety is an antivaxxer. They tell us that the vaccines given to children are the most safety tested drugs on the market, but not one of the vaccines on the childhood schedule has gone through a double blind, inert placebo, safety test. That is required for fda approval of all other drugs, but not required for vaccines forced on babies.
