More specifically, when you attack antivax claims, antivaxxers often perceive it as a personal attack.

I’ve thought about this quite a lot: when you attack something that somebody believes -to the point of religion- as being unfathomably untrue (which it is) they tend to see that as a attack on their intellect (also might be true). In my experience, it’s hard to separate the two.

It's more than that. They see it as an attack on themselves. When you say, "No, you're mistaken," they hear, "You're an idiot."

The ideology that many anti-vaxers use. Is conspiratorial. A great distrust of government and business, particularly medicine. The hard thing to tease out, is perhaps a healthy or even unhealthy concern for ‘authority’ and vaccines efficacy 1/2

This no matter what one thinks of problems with government problems with Pharma. Etc. Some of it at least partly based in reality. No matter what conspiracy you may think is happening. Vaccines are the greatest medical invention ever. 2/

Exactly. When it comes to threatening the very lives of our most vulnerable, the die hard antivaxer needs to be shamed, to be ridiculed. There is no discussion with them. *However* it is important to distinguish between full antivaxer and simply vaccine hesitant.
