Hamilton cant cover up the anti-vax or expect to be immune (pardon the pun) from the criticism because of his race or try to hide behind his race. The fact you immediately jump to playing the race card is hilarious. The only racism ironically is displayed by you. Do you think only "fragile white men" have an issue with anti-vax? That the only people actually understanding vaccines are white racists or can only racists would be annoyed by his comments? I'm sure people of colour would also be disgusted at his comments and understand how wrong he is.

They see Lewis Hamilton, a man of colour who has beaten the odds and become the best in a white man's sport. Some white people seem to feel his success is a kick in the teeth and just can't reconcile that a black person is at that level due to their bigotry. They then find any excuse to lambast him be it over his environmental and racial activism and most recently his poor comments about a vaccine. Sorry lads that black man is still going to be on top and be the best there was. Keep crying.

The New York Times describe the full story pretty well, as it was a blatant attempt to stop him running away with the championship.
