First NO:
"Vaccinate everybody" is a clear and enforceable rule.
"Vaccinate some but not others depending on the results of a blood test as interpreted in light of medical science's ever-changing best guess as to their individual personal risk" is a muddle and a chaos.

Second NO:
"Vaccinate some, exempt others according to their bloodwork" is actually a way *more* invasive and privacy-threatening rule "vaccinate everybody."
"Show your bloodwork" is "show your papers" on steroids.

Third NO:
"Natural immunity" is an aggressively and often intentionally misleading phrase. The truer description is "previously infected."
Nobody can say with certainty who is "immune" - especially not with language that flatters the delusion that some are innately virus-proof.

Fourth NO:
Anti-vax ideology is founded on the false claim that disease is somehow unnatural - and can be prevented/cured by "nature" ie potions and tablets sold without prior scientific testing for safety and effectiveness. That delusion should be resisted at every turn.

Fifth NO:
The demand for exemption is founded upon the false and dangerous idea that the vaccines present some kind of hazard or burden that a rational person would reasonably wish to avoid.
That's untrue, and nothing should be said/done to imply that it might be true.
END
