It's really on the developed, privileged richer countries that there are significant number of anti-vaxxers. But in the developing ones, especially the global south, they overwhelmingly believe in vaccines because these countries are in the tropical who have to deal with nastier and frequent diseases than those in the colder global north where diseases are more or less subdued by colder climate.
A suprise to be sure, that people in countries with continual and consistent access to vaccines, where 90+ % of the population of the last 50+ years has been fully vaccinated, is where antivaxxers have sprouted up, while people in less developed countries with inconsistent access to vaccines and medical care, believe in vaccines, where most of their population in the last 50 years has struggled to get vaccines or gone unvaccinated and they've seen first hand the horrors of the diseases that vaccines prevent....
