Not everyone who is against mandatory vaccination is a science denier. The science is NOT settled on whether the vaccine was particularly beneficial for young people to take. I took two doses and no boosters, and I haven't caught COVID. I have friends who took multiple boosters and got COVID 3 or 4 times. They also spread COVID to one another.

I was never at a major risk of severe illness from COVID. I got the vaccine because 1. Australia refused to end lockdowns without 80% double vaxxed so I did my part for the community. 2. I was told that it would prevent transmission. It does not.
