So why can't we vaccinated let them reap the consequences of their irresponsible actions? Why are we obligated to protect people from their own conscious decisions?
In a world where vaccines are widely available, there is little value in forcing the vaccinated to collectively protect people from their decisions to remain unvaccinated. If anything, it just sows more social discord and ill will in the population that is doing the most good from a public health perspective. If some parent doesn't want their kids to get chicken pox vaccination and their kid gets chicken pox and dies, so be it. They made their choice, I made mine to vaccinate my kids against varicella.
