Anti-vaccine activists who display religious, fanatical, or cult-like fervor despite the lack of peer reviewed evidence of vaccine related injury or death. Vacctivists will usually resort to logical fallacies in their arguments, such as; ad hominem and strawman attacks, guilt by association, and appeal to emotion (fear) to make their case. Vacctivism can be associated with social hypochondria and personal health insecurity which can lead to an obsession about how other people choose to live their lives. Vacctivists are quoted as preferring children dead from preventable diseases rather than having them vaccinated with proven, tested and reviewed vaccines. They will also gladly risk the health of other children who might be immunocompromised and not able to receive vaccines yet - infecting them with said preventable diseases, sometimes causing them to pass away, or if they recover, injured/handicapped.
