Notice how you have to vaccinate every year for it? But not for anything else? Yeah, it's because it's constantly mutating and it's a moving target. We still haven't figured out how to nail that target. What's worse, you need to go to a doctor to get vaccinated ...

All other points aside for a moment: the government should force each and every parent to vaccinate their children. Herd immunity is a key factor in protecting most of the population from many awful diseases, and herd immunity is only effective if the vast majority are vaccinated.

The reason that people who don't vaccinate themselves put everyone at risk is because of the herd immunity. The vaccine isn't 100% effective, but a 99% effective vaccine will prevent the disease from spreading around enough that the 1% where it didn't take are still safe. The unvaccinated, however, still create an infection risk for the 1% who weren't vaccinated successfully.

It seems difficult to fight this directly -- prosecuting anti-vaccinators would be viewed by supporters as persecution, and might actually make them more reluctant to vaccinate. Publicizing deaths due to lack of vaccination can work, but that lags -- by the time enough of the population is unvaccinated for the disease to spread and **** babies, it's too late.

The worst thing about people refusing to vaccinate their children is the fact that they themselves probably had all the vaccines in their childhood and did not suffer any consequences.

Also, I don't see how this is a very good simulation. As its rules are laid out, if you don't want polio, simply get vaccinated. Doesn't a large part of herd immunity have to do with even immunized people being susceptible under repeated contact with infected people? Furthermore, it deviates from objectivity with an implicit value judgment that unvaccinated people either "cannot be vaccinated" or "are freeloaders", when it's really just individuals' utility functions.
