It's simpler than that. Reversing her position would (1) burn her relationships with most of her social graph, and (2) paint a big target on her back...when nasty anti-vaxers are enjoying a strong tail wind from Washington.

In other news, very few victims of armed robbery say "over my dead body, thief!".
