Flat earther, conspiracy theory, good/bad faith, etc...simple memes like this are very effective in controlling both dumb and normatively "smart" people with simple rhetoric.

It's an ad hominem attack a lot of times. Calling RFK an anti vaxxer for example. He's much different than a person that flat out refuses all vaccines. But it's very effective to call him that and shut off all engagement with any aspects of his critique.

"no vaccine that is safe and effective" sounds pretty anti-vax and impossible to justify with real data.

Let's never mind that everyone has differing, imprecise meanings in mind for the various words ("safe") involved.
