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?

People do not have the right to act in a way that decidedly harms others, and spreading disease counts. We all know (I really hope you do) that vaccines do not stop one from getting a disease but they do constrain it, shortening the illness, and reducing the symptoms.
