> My working definition of antivaxer ... Did you already have this explicit definition worked out before replying? Or did you have more of a feeling which you then solidified because you needed to in order to put it to words? I ask because my prediction is that a lot of people 1) don't have an explicit definition, and 2) whether they have an explicit definition or a vague feeling, it probably differs from your definition in some substantive way (maybe having more or fewer qualifiers, maybe just being against mandates but all for getting every vaccine, etc). > I've not been vaccinated for the flu ... This absolutely would make you an "antivaxer" to some unknowable number of people. Should we now discount everything you say? It may have been a useful term at some point, but by now I think its lost all utility except as something to trigger our lizard brains and try to get us to take mental shortcuts.
