The media portrays the vaccine-hesitant as stereotypical anarchist militant anti-vax. But all the ones I actually know have pre-existing illnesses which are not being adequately treated by their medical care system, and which they are fearful will get worse post-vaccine.

Sounds like selection bias. Do you live in a region with high vaccination rates overall?

I certainly also don't know any unvaccinated-by-choice people personally either in my bubble. My city is up to 82% one dose, 71% fully vaccinated and I expect it to keep going up.

There’s a whole wide world of folks out there who won’t get a vaccine but are happy to take a horse de-wormer instead.

I know a number of anti-vaxxers who are more on the 'lentil' side of the spectrum. For them it's a fear of 'unnatural' things in their bodies, they're antivax in general.
