Taking the choice not to take the vaccine is not taking a choice about personal risk.
It's like driving drunk. It's personal risk AND risk to every other person around you.
When you do not vaccinate, and then go out and about, you are inflicting risk on immuno-compromised persons, for whom the vaccine doesn't work well.
Unless we lock anti-vaxxers in their homes, or unless we hold them criminally liable for infecting someone else, it's not a question of their personal risk.
