We will never eradicate this disease due to the large number of anti-vaccine folks.

    With something like this, you really do. The first vaccines are unlikely to be 100% effective, and may not last very long, so to get close to eradication we'd have to see very good take-up rates.

    We still do because if there are too many anti-vaccine people that would prevent us from reaching herd immunity.

    I do worry about anti-vaccine people. I don't think that because someone falls for propaganda they should die from a preventable disease. Their kids shouldn't either.

    The good news is that if you always drive sober, you don't have to worry about drunk drivers. The reality is, no vaccine is 100% effective (immune response isn't a binary thing), and the are lots of people that can't be vaccinated for medical reasons. Every person who is not vaccinated by choice is wilfully exposing others to risk.
