Anti-vaxxers usually say the benefits outweigh the risks and don't consider herd immunity. When you've just been bitten by a rabid animal the risk-benefit calculation is different, no cognitive dissonance there. You'd also predict that an antivaccionationist hunter has at least his dog vaccinated against rabies, you see rabid foxes and raccoons out there with your own eyes.
What you'd really like to do is ask an anti-vaxxer woman who is pregnant or trying to conceive what she thinks about measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, especially rubella.
