5. Good question, but immune compromised

people are a small enough percentage of the population, that no one will really notice if they start dying in large numbers. Plus, I'm guessing for the most part many of the immune compromised are sufficiently savvy and careful that they aren't often around those who don't vaccinate. Also, if the immune compromised either had the childhood diseases in their youth, or were vaccinated themselves, their risk isn't as bad as it might be.

Whereas unvaccinated kids who get measles or whatever are more or less grouped together in schools, and so when they get sick it's very noticeable.

Religious objections to vaccinations should be eliminated. There are kids who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, but if everyone else is, they'll be reasonably safe.
