A lot of people look at the implacable and irrational unpersuadability of antivaxxers and kinda conclude "ah there's nothing we can do except let them win" instead of the correct conclusion that we need to force them to get their kids vaccinated against their parents' will
We had a test of this theory during COVID and among the groups that actually were forced to get vaccinated, most "reluctant" people just got the shot with only a few holdouts. Didn't even take a very big stick in a lot of cases!
It would be nice if we didn't have all our institutions believing the Supreme Court can command us to live by the standards of something between an 8th century medieval Christian fiefdom and a 1904 southern racist milltown. Otherwise public health as an institution will simply continue to vanish.
