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.
Yes. All the time.
The side effects are a triggered immune response, which is desirable. The time to get them is negligible.
Vaccines do reduce transmission in every case, if you have less severe symptoms you will spread less pathogens. Less people need hospitalization, so there’s less contact to spread the pathogen.
