We’ve had measles outbreaks and whooping cough outbreaks in Our province lately.... due to this threshold being challenged.

So.... if such a paltry ‘rights’ choice needs to be sacrificed for the group... so be it.

It’s a lot like not paying taxes.... there’s a threshold of noncompliance there too. Lots of the system falters and services gets affected....people refuse to pay cause ‘it’s a waste’.... as they drive the roads, use the schools, police, highways etc.

Sounds to me like your supporting the welfare leaches.
Again, your not looking at the source of the outbreaks. There would be no outbreaks if we curtailed international travel. The outbreaks are not from anti vaxxers, and even with mandatory vaccinations we’ll have still have similar outbreak rates.
