(Disclaimer: I am not an anti-vaxxer.)

It seems that their arguments are changing [1].

The gist, as I understand it, of their changed argument: The media has overblown the recent measles outbreak, there are things way worse for our children than measles and we should not be influenced by this media hysteria. Measles is uncommon and treatable so we should not be forced to vaccinate our children.

I don't see what's wrong with "evolved". The antivax meme evolves like an insidious virus -- mutating to become subtler, and more virulent, with time.

Measles is ridiculously easy to transmit, though.
