Vaccines are the single most effective public health measure in human history. More lives have been saved and suffering averted because of vaccination than anything humans ever done with rrspect to public health.
This is why the World Health Organization has named the antivaxx movement as one of the top ten threats to global public health responsible for 1.5M deaths annually due to under immunization mostly in third world children of color.
The fake expert doctors of disinformation are not only suppressing COVID immunization, all vaccination rates are declining as a result of their disinformation campaign.
The attached article discusses an effort to reduce vaccination through legislation in Virginia.
The doctor quoted in the article makes very valid points. It's worth reading.
I will go one step further. Public health trumps individual liberty. There are some very rare medical reasons to waive vaccination.
Your personal religious or philosophical beliefs are not among them. They are secondary to public health concerns.
Over the long term, the antivaxx trend is a self limited movement. It will decline as deadly contagious diseases return and reduce their numbers. It might take a few decades, or just one especially bad outbreak of polio as happened within a fundamentalist religious sect opposed to immunization. Back in the 1980s Polio swept through their community and in one summer nearly every one child in the sect got sick. Their religious objection to vaccination was shelved overnight.

Data doesn’t persuade deluded antivaxxers. But outbreaks of Polio do. Small outbreaks of Polio are popping up. It won't be long before a bigger one occurs. Unvaccinated kids will pay the price if stupid laws like the one under consideration in Virginia are passed.
Mark my words.
