I'm anti-vax: I'm vaccinated, I strongly encourage people I know to get vaccinated, I am pro incentives (e.g., lotteries) for vaccination, I am pro the right of private businesses to fire unvaccinated employees... but I am against laws that mandate vaccination.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary has changed their definition of 'anti-vaxxer' to include 'people who oppose laws that mandate vaccination'. Welcome to 1984. This is The Ministry of Truth.

What’s remarkable about this argument is we’ve had vaccine mandates for decades. You can’t go to college in dorm without proving you’ve been vaccinated. I’m pretty sure there have been travel vaccine requirements as well. This whole thing is absurd. Vaccine mandates aren’t new.

iirc i didn't have to prove vaccination when I went to college, and I never once had to prove vaccination when I did my somewhat extensive traveling a few years ago.

I’ve done both and had the complete opposite experience. Living in East africa in past and currently transferring universities. A specific line on my transfer checklist is to provide proof of my various vaccinations.
