We should let them live as they like and not force anything on them.

As long as human rights are respected there is no problem with that, if not then it becomes ethically invalid not to do something about it, which it doesn't have to mean imposing things by force by the way.

In this case nobody is forcing people to vaccinate, families that understand the value of immunization could choose to use it, the ones that are imposing something using violence are the extremists, that are acting against the interest of the people that want to vaccinate.

Respecting the desires of only the people that have guns is not something that can be justified.
