Philanthropist means something like "humanity-lover"; would they be:
* Misanthropists (humanity-hater)?
* Philnosists (disease-lover)?
Apologies for my extremely poor knowledge of Greekish (by which I mean "scientific-ish English with Greek word roots").

- SEJeff 7y agoanti-vax aka pro-disease
- echelon 7y agoThis is a great term that clarifies the debate. We should all start using this.
- SEJeff 7y agoIt is why I try to use it when feasible. It does a better job of indicating "the other side's" views.
- Youden 7y agoI don't think we should. Calling people names won't help change their minds. Call them something that indicates the true problem: misinformed.
- anotherevan 7y agowillfully ignorant?
- superpowerby 7y agoMaybe they just want to see the world burn and populations cut heavily so as to avoid overpopulation and further co2 emissions. I think they are doing god's work. Where can I sign up and chip in?
- gelotar 7y agoRight? You either love vaccines or you hate humans. It's simple.
- stakhanov 7y agoI hate humans. But I'm still pro-vax.
