I'm still upset that my right to make nuclear reactors was taken away
That would be a better point if your stone-age relatives had been making nuclear reactors to their heart's content.
If my forefather's immune systems didn't work without vaccines I wouldn't be here. All I want is the right to have my body work in a manner which has proven effective for the last couple hundred million years. I don't trust Merck Pharmaceutical's scientists enough to outsource my immune system function to them. But if you do, 'God Bless, Move forward.' None of us so-called 'anti-vaxxers' are trying to make that decision for you.
Living in society means that you make some concessions in order to stay a part of a community. Rockland County has said that in order to stay a part of their community, you must be vaccinated, otherwise they don't want you there. That said, if you want to truly make it fair, since its a retroactive change, I'd argue that they should pay for those that want to move because of the change.
Soon we'll wish we had the ole Russian policy of shipping us off to Siberia, because they probably don't care what you do there.
By your logic the following 'dangerous' people should be shipped off for the protection of the citizens:
- People who 'cannot be' vaccinated for some reason. You know: cancer, aids, from elite families who know better, etc.
- Similac babies who are not getting protection from their mothers.
- Anyone for whom the vaccine 'didn't take'. Some people simply don't generate a significant immune response.
- Anyone for whom the vaccine has worn off.
- Anyone who's been injected with pertussis vaccine and thus can be persistent asymptomatic carries of the wild-type bacteria.
Basically the best citizens to have are those who've had most or all of the piss-ant childhood right-of-passage ailments and are thus immune for life and pass on their immunity to their child during the critical phase of the child's immune system development.
In our modern societies which exhibit good sanitation practices you would actually get a lot more bang for the buck by banishing people who get caught speeding.

Whether the pro-vaxxers know it or not, this isn't about 'protecting society'. It's about complying with the dictates handed down by 'leadership', proving that they are a good little servant who will do as your told, unquestioningly believe the priest class ('doctors', 'scientists'), and generally be non-threatening worker bees. The hope in their minds is that be being complaint, and in fact enthusiastic supporters, they will be given a seat at the table when the shit hits the fan. Sadly for them nothing could be farther from the truth. The contempt that 'the powers that be' have for these drones knows no bounds.
