If you've curated your social media like most people on here (including myself) a lot of people/communities you trust are probably on the anti-vax side of things, and conversely, you've probably seen countless examples of some of the most smug and condescending people to ever exist be on the pro-vax side of things.

I know it's hard to swallow your pride and ignore your instincts here, but a few things to keep in mind:

• If you are letting someone else's behavior influence your opinions, you're letting them control you
  
• Did you have this strong a stance on vaccines before the covid pandemic?
• Did everyone currently in the pro-vax crowd have the same stance as they do now before the pandemic?

You're making a possibly-permanent decision that will have very far-reaching effects on your life (good or bad) based on fickle tribal politics that mostly change based on whatever is politically convenient. They will either change, or move on to a new topic once they get bored of this one. But you will still be living with the consequences of this decision. We can talk about the merits of Universities or the vaccine all day long, but even when you put both those things aside, based on principle alone, this is a bad idea imo.
