The problem are the people who do educate themselves and after reading the CDC decide to try and get a "balanced view" and fall down an Internet hole into the antivaxx Upside Down. If they hadn't educated themselves and just done what their pediatrician recommended it wouldn't be a problem.

  decide to try and get a "balanced view"
I think this is myth. Nobody weighs opinions in search of a "balanced view" in other realms of medicine: "treat cancer, yes or no?" "Smoking bad, yes or no?" "Meth bad, yes or no?" "Splint and cast broken bone, yes or no?"
