"Truly held" false belief is still false, and no justification for undermining public health, or being a parasite on other's contributions to it.

As the MAGA fascist Q-cultists are so fond of chanting, f--k their feelings.

Yeah! After we force inject everyone then we can round up the fat people next and get rid of the number 1 and 2 killers of humans and bring our healthcare costs down. /s

Totally not a fascist stance.

There are plenty of non-fascist things the state could do that might help address the obesity problem (like stopping massive maize subsidies) but the state won't do any of them. Sad.

How is it "undermining public health" to refuse vaccines which don't work against transmission?

Even if they literally had no effect on transmission (which is false), it's still a positive for public health because they have massive effect on hospitalization.

Reduced transmission because of the vaccine is not a binary

The net change in transmissibility is either negative or positive. So yeah, “reduced transmission” is a binary. It’s just not easy to measure.

"refuse vaccines which don't work against transmission?"

Pretty sure that's false.

Regardless, if you have antivaxxers taking up a hospital beds and others with legitimate issues missing out on care, I'm sure you can see how this is a public health issue.

There's no way you asked that question in good faith. Not a chance.

While we're at it let's remove the rapists and murderers from hospitals and let them die.

Lets also put a weight limit and a smoking limit on things so people don't crowd resources due to their poor decisions.

These "anti-vaxxers" that are fully vaccinated other than covid can just go rot in the streets /s
