Considering the commonality that runs through all anti-vaxxer’s is their concern for themselves above any they might have for others, the needs of children who are not their own is too abstract a concept to warrant their consideration.
Unfortunately, the current anti-vax movement is not driven by a fear of vaccines as much as by the need to be afraid of something, and covid vaccines are in vogue. It’s the same crowd that chanted Lock Her Up over and over, and over. The same crowd that thinks the loser won the election. As such, there is no place for reason. As it is with those that believe in fairytales, and other books of a speculative nature, it is some sort of twisted faith that grants them license to 'believe' whatever they want.
And, of course, when we consider how vaccines are a requirement to participate in society, their arguments, their concerns, are rendered moot. Consider the requirements for a person to enter public school in hawaii.
Here, from..
https://health.hawaii.gov/docd/vaccines-.../sy-20-21/
Which states..
"Hawai‘i State Law requires all students to meet physical examination, immunization, and tuberculosis clearance requirements before they may attend a childcare facility, preschool, or public/private school in the State."
And provides this list of required vaccinations..
Isn’t this, alone, reason enough we should just stop coddling the unvaccinated? We should require proof of vaccines to enter any public space? If we did, within a month, two at the most, we'd be rid of covid, and all that anti-vax noise as well.
