The one question 'pro-vaxxers' can't answer is: If vaccines work, why would someone fear non-vaccinated people?
Isn't that just taking 'anti-vaxxers' out of the gene pool?
I say this as someone who isn't anti-vaccine per se but only anti-unsafe-vaccines. And the safety of vaccines is very much in question today, which you wouldn't know if you only read and believe the mainstream media.

People who can't get vaccines (too young, too sick, immunocompromised) rely on herd immunity to protect them. People who can get vaccines but don't endanger those who can't get vaccines. They also put a unneeded strain on the medical system. We also have the power to eliminate some illnesses completely so that vaccines are no longer needed in the future generations. We've done this with smallpox and we are close with polio. As far as "safe/unsafe," that's disingenuous, there's no such thing - no medical intervention is completely without risk, but we know that the benefits of vaccines on the marketplace today unequivocally outweigh the (very minor) risks for the vast majority of healthy people.
