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.”
I don’t think many are anti-vaxxers so much as “anti lying ChiCom-loving lifetime bureaucrat sacks of shit”.
Being opposed to vaccines is a whole different ball game than being opposed to mandates.
To claim they are both the same thing, both anti-vaxxers, is disingenuous.

I guess they grew weary of looking stupid? 🤪
Yeah, that’s true. I looked into this for my religious exemption. The truth about where this line came from is egregious.
I first read about it here on FR and looked into it further. What I found out was no bueno.
Big dif between antivaxers and antimandaters. They dont take this into account.
I am against anything that includes or results in the production of any version of the Baric-Daszak-Fauci spike protein.
The Baric-Daszak-Fauci spike protein, by itself, is deadly.
Separately, I am against anything using mRNA technology, which is rife with dangers.
