Vitamin K Injections[edit]

Anti-vaxxers have been trying to gin up fear about the vitamin K shot given to babies to prevent catastrophic bleeding. There's already a small discussion of this on the "Vitamin and mineral supplements" page. Should it have a section here, too? — Unsigned, by: 98.166.23.99 / talk / contribs

Anti-vax glossary?[edit]

With the increase in euphemistic language in order to circumvent filters and moderation on social media, might it be useful to have an anti-vax glossary section/page? Twentydragon (talk) 08:40, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Right now, probably just add the code words to the article, but if it gets expansive enough, we can have.a glossary. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario!(Mod) 01:03, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
There’s a few things for the glossary that I’ve noticed. “Must be climate change” or “Coincidence” are terms used to describe scientists trying to repress vaccine injuries (Particularly for COVID), and the 🐭 emoji can mean a supporter of Jikkyleaks. This is what I’ve noticed so far. Patty Pat 14:00, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Zombie vaxxers[edit]

Some mention of the 'I am Legend' anti-vaxxer meme should be made - [1] is one of many reports. Anna Livia (talk) 22:57, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

White Rose movement[edit]

Can mention be made of this UK anti-vax group (ie not the anti-Nazi group, nor 'any group connected connected with Edward IV and Richard III'), having seen some of the stickers. This provides a good summary. Anna Livia (talk) 20:20, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Relation to alt-med[edit]

Some research shows a relationship between anti-vax and alt-med attitudes. Not sure where to add in the article. Chillpilled (talk) 05:11, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
