Well SOME of us are prepared, since we had parents who actually cared about our lives rather than virtue-signalling to their Facebook groups.

The problem is that the voluntarily unvaccinated give the disease the chance to circulate. Once in circulation it will harm some people who are vaccinated and some people who can't be vaccinated. Vaccination is in part an altruistic act that helps protect others. But antivaxers don't seem to understand this notion of doing something to protect other people.
