Are you seriously trying to argue your way away from agreeing that coercion can be refused by itself so much that you can't resist providing your hypothetical?
Are you still talking about the linked-to piece on the drop in routine vaccinations?
Or abstract generalizations that could be applied to just about any topic?
What evidence do you have that the reason for the drop is NOT primarily due to disruption caused by the pandemic, but is instead due to people "who thinks of [themselves] as having free ... fight[ing] back at least a small amount"?
Because the paper is clear that the decrease is due to disruption, saying:
] Twenty-three states reported COVID-19–related impacts on data collection including lower response rates from schools, data collection extensions and delays, and incomplete data from schools that did respond; 30 states reported lingering COVID-19–related impacts on vaccination coverage, mostly related to reduced access to vaccination appointments and local or school level extensions of grace period or provisional enrollment policies (CDC, School Vaccination Coverage Report, unpublished data, 2022). - https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7202a2.htm?s_cid=mm...
I don't know why you are so pointedly insistent on a population which is so small it doesn't seem to show up in the statistics.
Supposing people thought your point was useful. How would that insight help improve routine vaccine coverage?
