Someone who does not know what the definition of "research" is, has a Google phd, is anti-science or lacks the critical thinking skills to determine real science from pseudoscience, and parrots other people's ill-informed conclusions about vaccination.

A person dead set on listening to conspiracy theories about "Big Pharma" and ignoring all evidence to the contrary. Hallmarks of your typical anti-vaxxer include a staggeringly overinflated ego, pervasive selfishness, and insistence that they know more than real doctors/researchers because they read mommy blogs. An anti-vaxxer is also likely to view children as their property with no medical rights of their own (MY child, MY choice).
Joe: Why do things like measles and pertussis still kill people today?
Martha: Because anti-vaxxers only care about themselves and their "rights" to control their children. Science has eradicated these diseases - it's too bad it's fashionable for anti-vaxxers to flout science and make their children suffer with preventable diseases.

Her ignorance led her to become an anti-vaxxer despite current scientific literature running contrary to her beliefs.
