"I don't understand how science works, therefor I'm an Anti-Vaxxer. Also, magic crystals and stuff."

A nutjob who rejects modern science and medical knowledge in favour of conspiracy theories, urban legends, and general crackpottery. Ironically, they shrilly denounce the evils of pharmaceuticals and doctors from behind the keyboard of their own computer - a product of that same science they reject.
Another term, arguably more accurate, is "pro diseaser".

Thanks to anti-vaxxers, diseases like measles, whooping cough and diphtheria that were practically non-existent are making a comeback. Great job, guys.

A fool who chooses to endanger him/herself, his/her family and society as a whole by refusing to vaccinate him/herself and his/her children against dangerous diseases. Anti-vaxxers are typically gullible people who lack a basic understanding of chemistry, biology and medicine.

Small minded, paranoid person who thinks they understand science but they really don't. Convinced of their own self righteousness as they tend to congregate in echo-chamber like groups which espouse 'big pharma' conspiracy theories. Often rely on 'natural' healing such as homeopathy and claim these work better than evidence based medicine.
Anti-vaxxer's are the reason many communicable diseases are on the rise, such as measles and whooping cough

A person, or group of people who reject vaccines or do NOT believe in them! Many reasons could be used for their beliefs, but most them stem for religious, fearful, reasons etc.

Someone who exaggerates or flat-out lies about their child's reaction to vaccines to show how AWAKE they are and to seek sympathy on social media. Also see: narcissistic, pathological liar.
This anti-vaxxer claimed her daughter's cavities were due to the vaccines that Big Pharma gave her. Then I found out she doesn't even HAVE a daughter!

2. Slang for someone who refuses to acknowledge obvious facts because they're contrary to their preconceptions.

Those stupid anti-vaxxers have brought back previously defeated illnesses like measles and mumps all over the country.
Did you hear Jill try to argue that Ken Ham won the debate with Billy Nye? She's such a delusional Anti-vaxxer!.
