Someone who refuses to vaccinate themselves and/or their spouse/children due to conspiratory/religious beliefs. Oftentimes, the person in question believes that vaccines cause mental/physical ailments such as
Autism,
AIDS, and mental retardation. It is a serious issue that has caused the return of many viruses such as measles and polio, as
well as the unnecessary deaths, deformations, and scarrings of thousands of children. Anti-Vaxxers can be both men and women, and are generally either Gen
X or Baby Boomers. Most of the time, they don't have any experience in the medical or pharmaceutical field, and simply choose to believe in Anti-Vaccination for their own reasons. When asked, Anti-Vaxxers often refuse to elaborate on why the
Government would lie about such a thing. They also disregard decades of studies and evidence, as well as use excuses such as "Well, the Plague disappeared without a Vaccine". Due to their unfortunate predicament, many vaccinated teenagers turn to sites such as Reddit,
Tumblr, Instagram, or Facebook to see how they can vaccinate themselves against their
parents' will.
