If anything is going to create more ant-vax sentiment, it is treating people the way they have.

We have lost, unfortunately, part of the freedom to decide. Because not taking the vaccine is now seen as suicide, as an allegory of prehistory.

I wonder what would happen if hypothetically 5 or 10 years from now, the true side effects became known and they were terrible.

There is always tomorrow - even if we don't witness it :)
