    No. It’s an accurate description of beliefs and advocacy. As for “vaccine risk aware,” a more accurate term would be “imaginary vaccine risk fantasist.”https://twitter.com/Crazymothers1/status/1201140183695056901 …

    David Gorski, MD, PhD added,

    Crazymothers @Crazymothers1
    Dear Media, Please retire the use of the term “Anti-vaxxer.” It is derogatory, inflammatory, and marginalizes both women and their experiences. It is dismissivemy simplistic, highly offensive and largely false. We politely request that you refer to us as the Vaccine Risk Aware. pic.twitter.com/WtAyFOhLuv

        I was unaware that anti vaxxers were all women. 🤷🏻‍♀️

        Del Bigtree, Andrew Wakefield, RFKjr, JB Handley, Bob Sears, Jay Gordon, Chris Exley, Chris Shaw, et at probably would be just as surprised too.

        Replying to @garylasereyez

        Nope. I’m saying that the “risks” attributed to vaccines by antivaxers are either fantasy (e.g., that they cause autism, autoimmune diseases, or SIDS) or vastly exaggerated (e.g., the frequency of severe allergic reactions).

        So, "crazymothers" wants us to not use a term which they perceive as being derogatory and marginalizes women. "Crazymothers" wants this. Oooookay.

        One thing I've noticed about antivaxxers... they're not very good at irony.

        Coopting “women” also fails. Most women are provaccine, and a large portion of their leaders are men - RFK jr, Bigtree, Wakefield, Blaxill amd others come to mind. You’re not criticized as women; you’re criticized for promoting antivaccine misinformation that harms children.

        Right You can not attack a woman’s personal experience. Or her own feelings about her body. Or that she should listen to her body over sound medical advice.

        That doesn't take into account the maliciousness of that movement. "Fantasist" suggests they don't have ulterior motives but are only deluded.
