Vaxxer

In 1998, Andrew Wakefield published a study indicating that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine could potentially cause autism. It was later determined that his research was based on doubtful data, but not before it ignited what has become a years-long war between so-called “vaxxers” and “anti-vaxxers”.

Stein hopes to capitalize on the presence of Sanders backers who won’t back Clinton. So far, her attempts have been rocky. Most Sanders backers say they’ll vote for Clinton, and she’s hit turbulence over her flirtation with vaxers.

Even among the very hesitant if the cost of vaccine denial is understood in human terms, uptake has been shown to be increased. Parents, vaxxers and anti-vaxxers alike, want the best for their children.
