It's not about science or common sense. Not arguing that anti-vaccination movement is a force of good but such drastic measures are only going to produce more trouble than it's worth.

Science isn't the problem, but the shady businessmen using it for amassing ungodly amounts of money without second thought for the long term consequences of their actions are. Sorry for the early Godwin, but forcing vaccination is what the Nazi would do. My common sense tells me the fear is disproportionate compared to the real damage done by this virus. And I'd like once and for all that people that will take the vaccine explain me why oh why they fear that others aren't vaccinated?

For the same reason why they fear people not getting vaccinated for measles - unless you get it out of a population, it'll keep coming back and doing damage or, in C19's case, mutating into a more infectious variant which guarantees we're going to be dealing with this for yet more months.
