Someone who discounts scientifically valid medical research pertaining to vaccines in favor of data produced by a discredited researcher.

A few weeks ago, no one had “cheugy” in their vocabulary . Now everything is saturated with the word. It’s in our heads. It’s in our homes. Everyone is asking: “Am I cheugy? Am I a basic ass bitch? Am I GUILTY of being cheugy?”

The proliferation of cheugy in the mainstream discourse can only be attributed to one source: mental terror. It’s an orchestrated psychological trap to make you question your tastes and interests in the eyes of others.

You are not a cheug. YOU’RE PERFECT!!!!

It is very suspicious that the cheugy mascot is a Minion, a literal cyclops, a deformed
yellow panopticon in overalls ... do not let the all-seeing eye to control you. Be vigilant. Resist cheugy psyops.

Someone who thinks searching Google and reading blogs provides a better education than years of medical school, studying for board exams, and medical practice.

A person who thinks they know more about medicine and public health than the overwhelming majority of doctors, scientists, immunologists, and every major health organization across the whole entire planet.

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.
.

Someone who rejects medical advice and scientific consensus about the efficacy and safety of vaccinations. Typically pairs with anti-government paranoia, anti-corporate sentiment, conspiracy theories, and the "appeal to nature" fallacy. Anti-vaxxers also spawned the movement of autism-trutherism, which claims that autism is caused as a response to adjuvants found in vaccinations.

While there are several common schools of thought among anti-vaxxer circles, specific claims will often change about why vaccinations are harmful. The anti-vaxxer will single out benign ingredients as being particularly toxic regardless of its concentration, or sometimes that inoculation itself is a sham practice and was never necessary. Many anti-vaxxers instead champion "natural immunity," which involves actually contracting the disease that is vaccinated against in hope that they will be less susceptible to it in the future.

Tactics often include the "argument from ignorance," the "appeal to nature," and "begging the question."

Noun: A sub-cult of anti-science, Google researchers that, when gathered in groups, have the innate ability to reduce their collective IQ to a level proportional to the inverse of the collective sum. Also usually have a strange obsession with marmot feces and believe it will protect them from contracting Autism during their adult lives since the practice of rolling around in it has been anecdotally linked with their ability to not contract autism as adults.
