So if you get all vaccinations but one you're anti vac? I don't agree.

There’s a difference between simply not getting a vaccine and being anti vax

For years I didn’t get a flu shot

I was by no means anti flu shot I just didn’t think I needed to get one

Now I get one every year and have for probably 15 years

No great epiphany or come to Jesus moment I decided to get it and then decided to continue to get it

I wouldn't say that. I think anti-vax is more people actively and vocally trying to stop others from getting vaccines or spreading misinformation about one or multiple types of vaccines.

A person choosing not to participate may or may not be anti-vax. The choice isn't the determining factor imo.

Anti-vax, to me, means you actively work against vaccines, like rfk and those that want to get rid of mandatory vaccinations for school age children. We are already seeing whooping cough cases! Measles, chickenpox! Only a matter of time before we have to pull the iron lungs out of storage.

I posted that because i inferred from brandon's post it's all or nothing. He may have meant he thinks rfk is anti vax. Things can get lost in translation with forum posts.

From when people were telling others to take anything other than the vaccine
==================

A part-time actor who has claimed to be the inspiration for HBO’s Ballers was sentenced to eight years in federal prison for soliciting investors in companies that marketed a bogus cure for COVID-19 during the early days of the pandemic.

Keith Lawrence Middlebrook, 57, of Huntington Beach, California, who was convicted in May of 11 counts of wire fraud, was handed the sentence on Monday and ordered to pay a $25,000 fine, the U.S. The Department of Justice said in a news release.

Prosecutors said that at the height of the pandemic, Middlebrook “solicited potential investors in California, Nevada, New York, Texas, and Colorado via text messages, videos and statements posted on YouTube and Instagram about his purported cure for COVID-19.”


Middlebrook’s so-called cure was called “QC20,” and he had also marketed a purported COVID treatment, which he called “QP20,” the release stated.

He claimed to have personally developed a “patent-pending” cure and a treatment to prevent the coronavirus infection.

In March 2020, Middlebrook was arrested by the FBI after he delivered pills – which were purportedly the treatment that prevents coronavirus infection – to an undercover agent who was posing as an investor, according to the release.

After a three-day trial in May 2024, a jury found Middlebrook guilty of 11 counts of wire fraud……..

I think some people above came close to what I was getting at, but let me make it a bit more clear.

If you got a bunch of vaccines when you were a kid and have no problem getting your kids their vaccines, but maybe you didn’t get your yearly flu shot a couple of times or your fifth covid booster because you maybe forgot or are just a bit lazy, congrats, you’re not anti-vax. You’re just forgetful or kinda complacent. No big.

If you got all of your other shots except the COVID shot because you think there’s something specific about the COVID shot that makes it problematic relative to other vaccines, then you’re maybe not “anti-vax,” but you are absolutely using the same misinformation as someone who is anti-vax to make your decision.

They’re not the same, but they’re kinda the same.

Kinda the same for me....except even getting the flu shot I still tend to get the flu about every other year. Definitely not unheard of because this years shot is based on last year's strain but I seem to have a knack for getting it. The other kicker....is I would consider myself almost reclusive these days. I don't get out in public a whole bunch. Must be gas station pump handles or something . Our whole family gets the shot and they're in public far more than I am yet I'm the one that gets it. Just had it earlier this season.

same with me. I typically blew off the flu shot when I was younger. I don't anymore. I'm at the age now it's best if
I don't catch it or get a mild case. This years strain is considered moderately severe. We had two young men in
their early 20's at work that missed a week. Both told me it was a sick as they have ever been.

My cousin got his flu shot and ended up with the flu. He felt so bad, he thought he had Covid. Doc told him, "you got the flu A shot but flu B is what's going around this year." Then what good is the flu shot if it isn't designed for this strain of flu? I get mine every year since I turned 50. I don't normally get the flu, maybe a mild case. I definitely don't want this year's version.
