I bet a lot of them won't...I reckon that if an effective vaccine is developed, the 85 or 95 percent of the population who can get it, mostly will. If that vaccine then stops community transmission the other 1 or 2 percent who are militant anti-vaxxers will loudly proclaim that - despite it being brought about by the very vaccines they are opposing - because community transmission has stopped or the disease is no longer widespread, it proves that the vaccines weren't needed or the disease isn't serious. They'll claim that the lack of widespread disease as a result of the vaccines, shows that the vaccines are unnecessary.
Logic isn't their strong point, just look at Pete Evans, simultaneously claiming that coronavirus is a hoax, and somehow involving Bill Gates and being made to look far worse than it is by the media for some reason, and also selling $15,000 lamps to "protect" against it.
