But that's exactly what not getting a vaccine for a very contagious disease does. In a population there will be people who can't take the vaccine for medical reasons or it was ineffective for some reason. But, if the whole population takes the vaccine that can, herd immunity is still achieved and those people end up protected. By not taking the vaccine when you medically can, you're putting others in the community at risk.
Much like prior to covid, we were seeing an uptick in measles outbreaks because of antivaxers. Not only did the antivaxers put their kids at risk, but also kids in the groups I mentioned earlier.

Measles vaccines are established and effective. The objections to general vaccination are not analogous to concerns about a new, untested vaccine.

I'd love to hear how this analysis does not apply to your situation.

Unless you withdraw from society, it will unfortunately remain an issue
Without knowing anything about my situation, you jump to the furthest extreme. Please understand how this speaks exactly to my point.
