I think you’re overstating the impact of these groups now. The battle over the Covid vaccination has already been fought and conclusively lost by the anti-vaxxers.
96% of Australians 16+ have had at least one dose of a vaccine. 85% of Canadian truck drivers have too.
Mandates aren’t going to be dropped. No policies will be changed. In time this movement will fizzle out, just like their predecessors in the anti migrant protests a few years back fizzled out, and then those involved will either fade into nothingness, wise up and quietly get the jab, or continue to hold out and then suffer the consequences of contracting the virus whilst being unvaccinated.
But as the vast majority are now vaxxed they’ll continue to get on with their lives as normal and give little thought to the tiny fraction who won’t.
