Answering this sincerely: there are millions of people around the world who are immunocompromised or have another health condition that prevents them from safely taking a vaccine. Some people literally can’t take vaccines because their bodies can’t handle them, so those people rely on everyone else to get vaccinated to stop the spread of disease.

Plus, vaccines tend to benefit children the most. The problem with antivaxxers is that they’re often people who were vaccinated as children themselves, but after years of being chronically online/social media, they then decide to fuck over their innocent children by not vaccinating them. Measles, for example, isn’t nearly the threat to adults that it is to kids.

So, letting the antivaxxers “die” won’t just take out the antivaxxers, it’ll also take out millions of other innocent people who can’t take vaccines as well as children who have no say in the matter.

This is one area where strong, science-based policies can mean life or death, so I’m all for vaccine mandates unless there’s a compelling reason for an individual to skip.
