Here's a good rule of thumb: If the term "vaccine choice" or "informed consent" appears in the name of a vaccine-related organization, that organization is antivaccine. If there's an exception to this axiom, I have yet to see it in 20 years of combatting antivax misinformation.

I've been labeled as such. Informed consent is giving permission for a procedure or intervention when the risks, benefits and alternatives for said intervention are explained and known. Have I left out anything?

That is, of course, the issue. Antivaxers want to include in the informed consent discussion nonexistent risks from vaccines (e.g., autism, SIDS, asthma, diabetes) even though vaccines don't cause any of these, while downplaying benefits of vaccines. That's misinformed consent.
