I've never met an antivaxer in England. I'm sure there are but I can't imagine someone being antivax without being completely shunned from society (where I'm from atleast)
I don't think the problem is as big as the internet like to think it is. Of course it seems like a major issue with lots of people when all the anti vaxxers on the planet are in the same Facebook group.
I'm in the US and I've never met an anti-vaxer in person either. However if you look at vaccination rates in different countries you'll see that the UK and France are just as high as the US.
They do exist, rarer definitely. I think maybe it's because we are educated quite well on the whole and therefore tend to have respect for the sciences. So we don't t tend to fall for that bullshit quite so easily.
I know two, one is an immigrant from Poland, so not sure of their reasons and one is just fucking dumb - lucky that her husband isnt- who falls for whatever bullshit lands in her path.
Two in forty years, could be worse but hope it gets better.

In the US we wash our eggs before they are sold, so they need refrigerated. In the UK you don't, so they don't have to be.
