There is a web-site dedicated to the backgrounds of anti-vaxxers:
http://www.pharmamafia.com Alas, aside of few pieces in English it is plain German. That web-site is the largest in the whole WWW for that topic. It was written in 2006, which is quite a time now.
The web-site in special deals with measles, homeopathy and Anthroposophs. One of the key elements is something utterly insane one really would not believe it, but it is true: Anthroposophs do want children to become ill.
Even more disturbing fact: it is pediatricians, who want children to become ill. I translated a part for you with deepl.com:

Anthroposophs WANT children to become ill.
Anthroposophs WANT children to become ill. Yes, you have read correctly
see the following quote from
Cult of Death “Anthroposophic Medicine”
(
http://www.ariplex.com/ama/ama_im37.htm)
Walther Bühler and Wilhelm zur Linden, two anthroposophical doctors,
write in 1982 (!) in “Vom Sinn der Kinderkrankheiten”
literally:
——————————————————————————-
From this one can recognize the desperate strength with which a
born healthy child once, just once, really wants to experience
really wants to experience and get through an illness.
——————————————————————————-
It actually says that a HEALTHY child WANTS to be ill. And
this idiocy isn’t just anyone saying it, it’s what doctors say. Not
just any doctors, but anthroposophical doctors.
According to the Anthroposophs, the children are PREVIOUSLY
completely unprotected from disease.
Why? Because of the “incarnation”, or in German: out of sectarian delusion.
See Walther Bühler and Wilhelm zur Linden:
——————————————————————————-
Severe measles lead to a kind of swelling of the skin and mucous membranes.
of the skin and mucous membranes. This leads to rhinitis,
conjunctivitis, coughing with mucus secretion, but above all
but above all to a softening of the facial features, the contours become
blurred, which often leads to a grotesque change in facial
facial shapes. But then, after two or three days, all the swelling
swellings disappear, the fever and all catarrhal symptoms in the eyes
catarrhal symptoms in the eyes, nose and bronchial tubes subside.
Slowly, but more and more clearly, a new, often strange
facial expression appears and after some time attentive parents
attentive parents notice that perhaps even the child’s previous
resemblance of the child to the father or mother has diminished, that
a new, more individual face has emerged. Also otherwise
a change can be seen in the child. Peculiarities or
or difficulties in character, which were previously noticeable, recede.
recede. The child has obviously entered a new
stage of development. If you want to express it precisely, you can say
can be said: “The child is now better incarnated”, body and soul have
soul have found each other better. A deeper explanation for
for these processes can only be given if we look at the more intimate
connections in the human being: the child was able to develop certain
certain peculiarities that it had inherited with the help of the fever process.
with the help of the fever process.
——————————————————————————-
Measles and fever as instruments in the process of becoming human…
If one assumes that the child has already “incarnated” once, one also assumes that
death is not a bad thing. The fact that parents do not want to lose their child
is completely irrelevant. They bear their fate. The fact that the child
wants to live is also irrelevant. It has to die for the higher
purpose. And if it doesn’t die, then something positive will show up.
Even if it is SSPE in five years’ time.
Parents usually don’t know that when they go to the anthroposophical doctor.
They don’t know what’s going on in his head. Because they are not told.
Who would sit for more than five minutes with a doctor
who says it doesn’t matter whether you die or not?

To make on thing absolutely clear: Bühler and zur Linden are no nobodies. They were highly acclaimed lecturers for Anthroposohical medicine in southern Germany. The quotes given above are from a brochure they wrote in 1982.
Would you be astonished to hear that the very same persons behind the anti-vaxxer scene are a) Anthroposophs, and b) fight against the Covid vaccinations AND against masks?
And do note that the German association for evidence-based medicine was controlled for nearly 2 decades by at least one Anthroposoph.
Things are much worse than you might ever guess.

This should surprise no one. As I have previously said anthroposophy is a pernicious cult which hides behind a hippy image.
It is anti science, anti education and racist. And deceit is part of its founding philosophy so that the naive can be drawn in by its superficially attractive aspects.
Frankly its anti vax stance is the least surprising of its many failings.
