Anti-vaxxer...a derogatory name given to people who, for whatever reason, do not want too take the currently available Covid virus shots.
It's as wrong a label as the recently changed definition of the term 'vaccine'

What do you plan to call people who do not intend to get any booster shots ?

As far as i know, only the Phifzer vaccine uses technology derived from abortion,
That is not the only justification from many religious groups. Just the most controversial in the American political landscape

To claim a religious exemption, that person would need to claim it for all vaccinations and not just this shot.

This inoculation is not actually a true "vaccination," by the way. It is a therapy treatment.

It still is. The people who accuse others who choose not to get this one shot of being "anti-vaxxers," despite willingly receiving all manner of earlier vaccines, are slanderers and liars.

Pretty much this...just like the Democrats keep redefining what is "racist" is anyone that doesn't think like them.


If you want to get the shot, get it. you'll get an from me.


If you don't want to get the shot, then don't get it, you will still get an from me. No hypocrisy here.


I am not for it nor against it, just like other vaccines, I am just probably not doing it. Whatever consequences from such are mine to own. Save your "what if" games for someone else.

If you are against getting the flu shot -- you are anti-vaxxer.
If you don't get the flu shot just because you don't get it -- are you anti-flu shot or just not getting the flu shot.

I've not gotten the flu shot -- but I wasn't against getting it -- I just didn't get it.

And there are healthy people that feel the same way about the covid shot.
They are healthy and would rather take the risk.

Yet they are now pariahs of society.

If you answer No for any reason you are an "Anti-Vaxxer".
With the exception of people who can't, e.g., not approved for their age group, allergic, or (although it gets dicey here with doctor shopping as has always been the case with anti-vaxxers) medically contraindicated. The last one is really the only area of ambiguity. It's nothing new. California has always had a lot of anti-vaxxers and doctor shopping for the old medical exemption isn't new. Nor of course is it anything unique to vaccines. Look at all the draft dodgers and such as well.

IDK about that, I know a RN that successfully got a religious exemption at the hospital she works at, and this only pertains to the Covid vaccine, she was going to loose her job, but the hospital granted her the exemption! I was surprised at that.


She thinks the vaccine contain 'abortion material'...however when I have asked a few doctors about this, they told me only the Phfizer vaccine uses technology derived from abortions.
