I don't think VAX was the intended meaning in anti-vaxxer.

I figured, but honestly wasn't sure. And either way, there VAX certainly had its share of anti-VAXers.

Personally I never much liked VAX myself, but that was primarily because my first experience of it was with VMS, and I'd previously used Unix. The difference was jarring.

Later in my career, I had no choice but to use VMS on an Alpha cluster, and grew to really appreciate it.
