He might not be "antivax" across the board, but he has been (rightly, in my opinion) extremely critical of overvaccination of children, and the MMR vaccine fits squarely in that category.
This might not be a full flip in stances, but he's definitely flipping his tone. Personally, I don't like to see him play the game like this. Juist like with Trump, his opponents are going to hate him no matter what. Don't compromise your principles just to get in the good graces of your brainwashed and often evil opposition.
If you read the article itself it's much more balanced than the headline shows, but he's still trying to moderate his past stances, and I think that's counterproductive, since I think his previous non-politician stance was the correct one.
I've listened to him talk for hours at a time about vaccines and the tone I heard was against no-liability, no-testing, and an excessive schedule.
So what's the change? Can you actually point to any time he's said anything that would make you think he'd call for parents not to give their kids MMR vaccine?
MMR doesn't fit in the overvaccination category because these are diseases that are very transmissible and damaging to kids and so hard to eradicate that they'll be ever present.
