> France, Germany and Italy have really disappointed with their heavyhanded approach against those that are not vaccinated.

Disappointed who? The anti-vaxxer community? Good.

Point of clarification, because you're spreading misinformation: being opposed to one specific vaccine type is NOT the same as being an "anti-vaxxer." It will behoove you to be clear on that point.

> misinformation

The overlap between the two groups is so large and the justifications so similar that they may as well be the same. It is not useful for clarity, brevity or comprehension to distinguish the two.

This type of generalization is what allows people to bulldoze details and nuance in favor of bright tribal lines. It’s the same psychological shortcut that folks use when they call any social program ‘socialism’. It’s lazy and destructive.

That is exactly what everyone means by anti-vaxxer right now. If you are opposed to the covid vaccine, you are an anti-vaxxer.

"Everyone is doing it" has always been - and will always be - a terrible reason to do anything.

"anti-vaxxer" is too broad of a term. That's like saying anyone who doesn't want to buy a Ford is "anti-car." They're not anti-car, they just don't want a Ford.

Almost all the people you call "anti-vaxxers", in fact very much believe vaccines are modern miracles that have reduced or eradicated serious illnesses. Many of them get a flu shot every single year. That's not the behavior of an "anti-vaxxer." "anti-vaxxer" is inaccurate at best, and intentionally derogatory at worst.

And if you're blindly supporting what your government muppets are throwing at you in a simulation of competence you are a believer.

Everytime I hear or read what anti-vaxxers have to say, it feels like the person on the other end is a teenager who has watched The Matrix for the first time while having smoked a tad bit too much weed.

"THEY control us and manipulate everything, bruh! You're just a sheeple."

Dude. Chill! I just like to be the black sheep. Besides that I took the red and the blue pill, seeing the one universal truth, which is is Lila spotted with Lalall.

Baa, baa, baa! (Blowing rings of purple haze at you)
