It's hard not to wonder how many current anti-vaxxers would have already died, without receiving childhood vaccinations against highly contagious diseases like the measles, mumps, chicken pox, polio, Etc.? Given the ever increasing population and the speed in which we can intermingle globally, those diseases would spread a lot faster today than they did before 'mostly' being eradicated. I read one report that estimated that about 42,000 of the 4.1 million children born in the USA every year, would have died without our robust mandatory vaccination program (for kids in public schools at least). Not to even mention the direct and indirect costs, of a lack of immunizations. I also shake my head at those whose opposition to the Covid vaccine is predicated on "I don't put what I don't know, in my body," yet are obese and can't even pronounce a lot of the ingredients - in the fast/junk food they constantly consume. I won't hold my breath for a 'hypocrisy vaccine' anytime soon though. lol
