Merriam-Webster changes definition of anti-vaxxer to include those against mandatory vaccination

0

Merriam-Webster just changed the definition of the term anti-vaxxer, which used to be a pejorative term for someone who opposes all vaccination. The new definition includes people who don’t think it’s okay for a government to force everyone to get an experimental drug injected into their arm twice, thrice, or maybe endlessly.

anti-vaxxer: a person who opposes vaccination or laws that mandate vaccination.

They just turned a fringe group into a vast majority. Good job!
