I'm sure they have, but you also must consider that most pro-vaccination folks are just regurgitating what they've been told their entire lives. I know plenty of intelligent people who are like that, doesn't mean they're shills, just brainwashed. Let's do our best to inform these people instead of harassing them, with enough people on board we can at least get some people to reconsider their beliefs on the subject. Ofc with obvious shills it probably wouldn't hurt to call them out on it too :)
Yes, let's inform them and make sure that the discussion about vaccines does not end at the 'good or bad' crossroads. Let's look at pharmaceuticals, in history a lot of 'medicine' was sold that later proved to be actually bad for you or even poisen or kill you. On the other hand there is stuff like penicillin. We don't rally about 'Pharmaceuticals: Yes or No' we look at the specific product and then decide. The same should be done with vaccines.
And one other thing that always bugs me is the false theory of uninformed people that if everybody is vaccinated then that particular virus will disappear and never bug us again. Well actually the exact opposite is true. Vaccination works by infecting a person. And that person goes through the stages of that particular disease, including spreading it to some degree... So actually all those stockpiles of vaccines make sure that the most dangerous diseases will stay with us for a long time.
