>> anecdotes aren't anthema to logic. THey're all that is required to disprove universally stated truths. So if some vax-denier says "healthly people can't get covid twice" your anecdote is good enough.
The real problem is that despite all their talk of science and facts they're not going to be convinced. That's just window dressing for their wrong beliefs.
The value of vaccines is for society as a whole but the majority of us who get vaccinated do so for very selfish reasons: we don't want to get sick, we perceive the risk worth it, etc. The vast majority of anti-vaxers are still driven by the same base needs, we just haven't found the motivator that triggers action. Something as simple as vacinne passports would probably do it.

Let me fix it for you:
"Something as simple as restricting the freedom of movement of healthy individuals who committed no crime, in violation of Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, would cause people with WRONG BELIEFS (sic!) to behave in ways that I like. Namely, I want them to give up control of their bodies for the greater social good, which is defined by their government. So long as the government agrees with me, naturally, which I expect them to do forever.
The unwashed masses are in need of some enlightened herding. The human rights are there only for times of no consequence; but these are extraordinary, revolutionary times!"
And people wonder where do totalitarian regimes recruit their support base from.
Thank you for this. My feelings exactly. Corona has shown me how easy it is to create fanatics to enforce any crazy rules in a fascist dictatorship.
If we ever get a Hitler or Stalin or Mussolini in this country it will be truly scary how many people will happily follow the narrative and support hurting others who don't.
There's a vast gulf between anti-vaxxers and people who just don't want to put a non FDA approved, untested substance in their body that was developed in a rush over 6 months with no manufacturer accountability for a virus that they're not vulnerable to.
It's a little disingenuous and black and white thinking of you to label them as the same.
It would be like me calling you a Covid fanatic and a member of a Covid cult. It's extreme caricature of your views.
