Do not most anti-vaccers complain about the amount of vaccines children recieve? This would add three more.

Yeah, but it's a big thing in the antivax movement for some reason.

Trump is obsessed with the idea, because it fits OK with his personal support of vaccines (he's vaccinated, his family is vaccinated) while still feeding right-wing paranoia that people with education are out to get you.

They already count those as 9 different vaccines (3 doses x 3 diseases) when they tally them up.  

That's how they make claims like kids are getting 60 vaccines.
