For heaven's sakes, if they don't want to vaccinate, they can not vaccinate.
But... A) This is not fair to children who are not able to make such a decision for themselves, and who might just shy away from getting "another shot". Obviously, parents should have the final say in the raising and care of their children - but this presupposes that they are acting in the children's best interest. Lately, that contract seems to be violated more and more often.
B) They cannot be surprised or offended if they are not allowed to interact with others, and that should be emphasized. This is not about religion, skin color, or any other factor of bigotry; this is about them being a public health hazard. If they are not allowed in public places, if their children are not allowed in schools, if they cannot work a normal job - they have none to blame save themselves. This is not bigotry; this is concern for the vast majority of the public to which they do not belong.
At some point, the question arises if a case of smallpox is as dangerous (or more so) than carrying a gun. A disease doesn't even need to be "shot" - it's always attacking others. Of course, considering the way we treat gun bearers anyhow...
