The conservative mind genuinely believes that vaccines are harmful thanks to fox news and RFK Jr. There’s no recovering from that. The kids will die and they will still insist it’s the right thing.
However, that does not justify mandatory vaccinations. The US has historically denied, medically abused, and withheld consent from minority patients. To this day, black women are still receiving poorer outcomes due to a history of neglect and blatant discrimination. While most vaccine deniers are not among this cohort, mandatory vaccines would ultimately marginalize the very people conservatives aim to marginalize.
