"Because I asked my doctor and they said so" is the weakest explanation anyone could give for why they berate a whole class of people on-line in my view.
Personally I think that you want vaccine hesitancy in the general case because people tend to overstate the degree to which you know the outcome of mass vaccination to an emergent disease. That has nothing to do with the _rationale_ of the people, though.

In other words, I think you typically don't want to vaccinate 100% of your population in the first year of an emergent disease with a brand new vaccine. So the _outcome_ of splitting into vaccinated and non-vaccinated groups, especially if they can be geo-isolated, is good.

The _reasons_ people give for _either_ choice, however, seem very suspect to me and I suspect they are mostly post-hoc explanations, not the real reasons why people did or didn't do something.

If people do vaccinate in the end, that's great. I feel the current vaccination hesitancy will lead to more hesitancy in the future due to fringe theories though, and that's more worrying. But I don't know how it usually works in countries with high vaccine hesitancy levels.
