They are still contradictions. As we saw, there is collateral damage to hospitals and emergency resources when anti-vaccine folks hate science until they are on their death bed.
With that said, now we are doing better to the point that anti-vaccers aren't overloading hospitals and my argument becomes moot. But during a period of time once vaccines initially were available, anti-vaccine folks were definitely hurting other people.
Unfortunately this is a dead end argument for conservatives. Their entire platform is built on "rules for thee, not for me". I still enjoy pointing this out to conservatives but it never goes anywhere.
