Apart from that - your post doesn't compute ...
"some people make their own choices using their own logic"
I am all for people making their own choices - however, if they choose to endanger others (as the anti vaxxers do) than they should in my view be punished. Not different to e.g. boy racers who put without hesitation the lives of other people at risk.
Regarding "using their own logic". Hmm - just tell us how many different logics there are out there - and can anybody make up their own logic?
The definition of logic:
is inconsistent with your desire to allow any Joe, Dick and Antivaxxer to make up their own logic.
So, really, it is quite easy: either you use above principle and valid facts to argue or alternatively you are just creating your own anti vaxxing religion. Same as the Flat Earth people or other idiots.
Obviously - everybody is allowed to make up their own religion and freedom of religion is even a basic human right. However - it has nothing to do with logic or facts.
The other thing is - most world religions these days try to improve human life and interactions (with varying success). Your Antivaxxer religion however seems mainly focussed on putting both its disciples as well as the society in general at risk. Latter is something no society can tolerate.
How do they say - reason is the worst enemy of any religion - and this includes the net of lies woven by the anti vaxxers.
