The zealous and often illogical promotion of vaccines by the government appears to have officially turned a majority of Americans into anti-vaxxers. Not metaphorically, but apparently, literally as a matter of basic English.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “anti-vaxxer” as “a person who opposes … regulations mandating vaccination.”
So, if you oppose a vaccine requirement, you are an anti-vaxxer. Well, an official NBC News Survey by Hart Research found that 50% of American adults opposed “requiring that everyone who is now eligible must get a COVID-19 vaccine.” It appears half of Americans are now officially anti-vaxxers.
In reality, based on the more common, colloquial use of this term, even more Americans are anti-vaxxers. According to mainstream media, if you raise questions about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines – anti-vaxxer! If you raise questions about the efficacy of this vaccine – anti-vaxxer! If you question the FDA, CDC, or White House guidance on this vaccine – anti-vaxxer! If you want pharma companies to be liable for vaccine injuries – anti-vaxxer! If you want long term placebo-controlled trials prior to licensure – anti-vaxxer! If you raise concerns about breakthrough cases – anti-vaxxer! If you think natural immunity has anything to offer without a vaccine – anti-vaxxer!!!
Obamacare was used as a pejorative and was turned by many into a term of honor. Could it be that the same fate awaits the term anti-vaxxer? That does appear the natural result of retorting with “anti-vaxxer” to reasonable and rational questions about these products.
Those supporting these vaccines would do much better to actually address the substantive and legitimate questions being raised, instead of retorting with “anti-vaxxer!” At some point, they are going to make this term a badge of honor as it may come to mean “someone that raises valid questions about certain vaccines and is met with only ad-hominem responses.”
They drew first blood!
That’s what Rambo said.
PING
How are they going to explain all the newborns with cardiac problems? (substack.com)
Oh and there's this word 'rare'.
And a reference to the vax as a 'woke poke'.

Mein Gott! I oppose mandatory COVID-19 vaccination and support COVID-19 vaccination by INDIVIDUAL CHOICE. I’m officially an “anti-vaxxer”. Who knew.
I’m waiting for the Zumba Variant. Then I might take action:

I am not approved fake vaccine anti-vaxxer. I have received the real vaccines that Fraudchi had nothing to do with.
So, they are going to isolate and ostracize a MAJORITY of the citizens.
That is almost like claiming to be the only sane person in the world. . . ironic and crazy!!!!!!
I was an anti-vaxxer before anti-vaxxers were cool.
;-)
most Americans have received an endless stream of vaccinations. Everyone who went to school had to have certain vaccinations, everyone who went into the military also received a lot of vaccinations. Most Americans aren’t anti-vaxxers, it’s just that a lot of Americans are skeptical of vaccines developed so quickly and then there is the issue of us being forced to take them whether we went them or not.
bttt
Well even if you took the jab or 3 or 4 or more and you still see everyone else like YOU coming down with the covid flavor of the day, well...
"As anti-vaxxers launch a campaign against a bill that would eliminate their ability to opt out of required shots, supporters of the proposal are delivering more than 21,000 petition signatures to the office of state Sen. Ben Allen …"
The dictionary has sometimes been a tool of the Left to tilt language in their favor. Most recently (to my memory) is when they changed a term to assist Democrats in ther battle against USSC nominee Amy Coney Barrett.
Proud PureBlood and Anti-Vaxxer. Wife got a call from the nursing home she works at this morning. She took a covid test last night and it came back positive. I don’t think they use the junk PCR tests because only a handful of people have tested positive over the past 1 1/2+ years and most were very symptomatic after having gone home for 10 days as required. No symptoms here yet and I already had everything here for the Zelenko/FLCCC protocols though admittedly, some of it comes from the feed store due to the cost and availability of the human versions. AZM(fish) IVM(horse). We’re a family of sea horses I guess.
Smart
So is this the real definition? Or is it the one the CDC and other 3-letter agencies have altered to their own preferences?
ha ha.
In time for New Year’s Eve? More fun than champagne?
