How about you declare your position and agenda before we get into that...
you're halfway there in my estimation but I will withhold judgement for now
Off to a great start. It was a simple question. No position or agenda, it was a response to your usage of the word. I found out today that a doctor who is vaccinated, and has vaccinated others for covid and worked with covid patients, who is however against mandating vaccines is now deemed antivax, because one dictionary has changed its definition of antivax to include anyone who is against mandating vaccines. You were the first person I saw using the word after discovering that. It also means that I am now antivax by their definition because I do not support mandating vaccines or any medical treatment. About me, I am not vaccinated for now, possibly in the future, possibly soon. I know many people who are vaccinated and many who are not. I do not know any antivaxxers. For me, and I see it as the original description antivax means opposed to all and every vaccine. This does not fit myself or anyone that I know in my life. There may be people like that, I have not met any. So what is your definition of an antivaxxer? and does it fit the original meaning or like that dictionary are you adding something to it? Curious. I am keen for anyone to give me their definition of what an antivaxxer is.
