Then other people ought to take precautions.

A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
Proverbs 27:1 (NLT)
I agree. Personally, my solution is to roundup all the families who refuse to vaccinate and exile them to a suitable, isolated island. It is a simple precaution, but I think it would be effective.

I agree with many here who see intolerance as driven by fear. However there is a religious aspect. Religion doesn't necessarily create intolerance. But it makes it possible to attribute it to God. Where it might be possible to deal with intolerance as people get to know each other, wrapping your intolerance in religion will tend to make it harder to change.
