You'd be surprised. My sibling wasn't anti-vax but was surrounded by, let's say less scientifically-inclined people (artists) and didn't get vaccinated.

Talking over the phone I got my sibling to actually research the topic (actual publications, not social media "do my your own research") and finally decided to vaccinate.

Some people are probably mostly lost down the social media conspiracy/politics rabbit hole but some aren't beyond looking at overwhelming evidence and making a reasonable decision based on it.
