There are more than enough people who don't want to take the vaccine for pre-existing reasons that they could have formed a control group who promised not to take it, and would stick to it.

For a double blind randomized trial, no one can know who's in what group. If an individual isn't willing to get the vaccine then they'd be excluded by default.
