The COVID pandemic marked the first time in history when renowned vaccine experts, developers, scientists and doctors were labelled as “anti-vaxxers” en masse.

Anti-vaxxer is a derogatory term that is used to ridicule anybody who questions vaccine safety and efficacy. Those who label other people as anti-vaxxers often do not understand the concerns people have with vaccinations, nor look at their cited research. In the end, they neither respond to nor acknowledge their concerns appropriately.
