Don't forget, the term "anti-vaxers" has become a catch-all term for shutting down the slightest criticism about the virus, whether fact or opinion. I have seen this term slung at people simply questioning vaccine mandates and passports in casual conversations both online and offline. Very few people are anti-vax but they powers that be would like most people to think there are only 2 sides. We live in dangerous times.

Somebody got damaged after infection? Some will come and dismiss with "anectodal". Somebody got damaged after vaccination? Others will come and dismiss with "anectodal". One tries to tell someone that he lost very real family members and friends to covid: "they must have been already sick". One tries to tell someone that he has known of a surprising number of people with adverse events: "they must have been already sick". And with that the issue has not progressed a bit.
