No. The ones that don't want the vaccine (and don't have a real medical reason not to) have to take the goddamn vaccine. Their beliefs are objectively wrong, and if they want to live in society, they have to do their part.

Bodily autonomy is very important to me, but it does not mean that you are allowed to cause real harm to others' bodies.

The antivaxxers have nothing. They're ridiculous morons who try to undermine society. Meet fire with fire, marginalize these idiots if they refuse to get their shit together.

What do you say to people who eagerly took the initial 2-dose vaccine series but aren't interested in perpetual boosters every 6 months? Are they antivaxxers? Do they need to be marginalized?

The neutralizing antibodies generated after vaccination wane very quickly and the vaccines do not prevent infection or transmission. There are even breakthrough cases happening in people who are just 2-3 months out from their second dose.

I flew halfway around the world to get vaccinated and when I was in the US earlier this year, observed that the people who were most confident and even cavalier about forgoing preventative measures like mask wearing and social distancing were people who were fully vaccinated.

If vaccinated people who harbor objectively wrong beliefs about what the vaccines actually do engage in behavior that causes "real harm to other's bodies", do they need fire and brimstone too?

I don't know. It's difficult. So let's focus on the easy one: the idiots who won't get their first dose.

Of course there are breakthrough cases. The vaccines aren't 100% effective. That's not the point.
