Antivaxxers are the geocentrists of the modern age.

Facts are irrelevant, for it is a religion-- half cult of individual superiority and half uncontrollable iconoclasm.

Someone who rejects the broad and overwhelming scientific consensus and cherry-picks extreme cantankerous outliers to support their position that there is a "they" who are "forcing" people do something for some handwavy conspiracy nonsense.

Like geocentrists but with medicine.

A definition of "antivaxxer" that includes no references to vaccines or vaccination.
