Maybe, but this virus kills what, maybe a few percent of its victims?
So there might be slightly fewer anti-vaxxers than before. Although maybe they'll be "cured" of anti-vaxxism if they survive the disease themselves.
The other thing to keep in mind is, if there are people who are vaccinated and anti-vaxxers, the anti-vaxxers are free-riding on the vaxxed. If you get vaccinated, you are protecting not only yourself from getting the disease, but also protecting other people from getting the disease from you. So if enough people get vaccinated, the disease dies out, and the anti-vaxxers survive.
So I feel like it's really only an issue for them if there are enough of them. If they're a fringe minority, then the disease will be pretty much dead anyway. And of even the small number of them that do catch it, a large majority will survive.
More bright side (you didn't include any in your post):
No Eurovision this year!
