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?

In a nutshell the flaw in your thinking is that yes, you can still pass it on if you’re vaccinated, but… instead of being a carrier that can pass it on for 3 weeks, you might be contagious for a day or 2
I think you’re doing the anti-vax thing where you find self-satisfying reasons to support your claim, but you won’t bother to examine the validity of those assumptions.
Ah ok thanks for your explanation. I think I understand how herd immunity works now. It’s not that you are unable to pass it on, but that you reduce the time you have with it and limit the spread.
