      Yes, functionally "vaccine critical" and "antivax" are the same thing. "Vaccine critical" is just another euphemism that antivaxers like to use to describe themselves, like "ex-vaxxer" or "vaccine safety activist," because they know how toxic the antivaccine label is.

          The euphemistic term "gender critical" for anti-transgender/anti-nonbinary groups comes to mind.

          Vaccine critical almost sounds like a parody to make fun of transphobes

          I had a friend who I thought wasn't an antivaxer tell me she thinks her kids should get vaccinated in Germany "because their vaccines don't have all those chemicals." I asked which chemicals and said I doubted they were any different than those here. (Didn't get any answer.)

          Can't leave out "vaccine risk aware" as though the rest of us don't know the risks...
