It doesn't quite work like that. A small percentage who get the vaccine will not develop enough antibodies to be immune. So, unless you get tested you won't know for certain that you can't catch it. Plus all the immuno compromised, like anyone getting chemo for cancer, or too young to be vaccinated, will be vulnerable.
When whooping cough outbreaks started to take the lives of babies (vaccine doesn't work until one year old) in areas where there are lots of anti-vaxers and poor herd immunity, people started to refer to anti-vaxers as "baby killers"
The whole debate gets nasty at times.
