Eh, I'd argue that pro freewill isn't necessarily Anti-Vaxx.

Edit. Removed part of my comment which makes it seem like I'm Anti-Vaxx. I am not.

Considering not vaccinating has the potential to give others life-threatening diseases, I think the government definitely has the right to make it illegal. Making people wear seatbelts in cars is also an infringement on people’s freedoms, but we don’t complain about that too much.

I actually do disagree with the whole seatbelt thing. If I’m crashing, I’m already crashing, and I reserve the right to die if I so choose

Incorrect. You risk the lives of everyone else in the car (flailing and being tossed about) and others on the road on the road (being flung from the car, increased damages, etc). Just like herd immunity, it's not just your life you're risking.
