Antivax types are all anti pushing vaccine on to people but if they don’t want to get vaccinated then it still won’t affect vaccinated folks. From my rough understanding, getting vaccinated keeps you alive or get less severe symptoms, but you can still pass it on.

So if antivax people don’t get it, then why not just let them die?

Edit: guys, I’m not antivax, I just don’t understand how herd immunity works.

    Newborns usually aren’t vaccinated until at least a few months - even then, things get introduced over time.

    An additional example, some folks can’t get vaccinated due to being immunocompromised, resulting in most vaccine mechanisms not working.
