I doubt the "anti-vaxx movement" is as irrational as someone who refuses proven safe and effective vaccines like measles, mumps, flu, etc.
"Anti-vax" sounds like a label one might give to Christian Scientists or cultists who still believe in the four humors.
Referring to people who refuse the coof jab with this epithet implies that we're cranks, when the instinct to avoid the shot out of cantankerousness or skepticism of the establishment or instinct or plain old inertia look like the better choices.
