If the were able to have that kind of discussion with you on the pros and cons of vaccines, would you still perceive them as antivax?

Interesting point! Anti vaccines yes obviously, but I wouldn't call them "antivax" (anymore) as it seems I reserved in my mind that name for the wild mob - for better or for worse. Because there's no good thing without downsides and discussing downsides is just as important, regardless how one prioritizes them. We are all different organisms and what works for one won't necessarily work the same for the other, and we need solutions for all.

Thing is that people used to label you as anti vax during that time period even when you thought vaccines as a whole were a good thing, but in certain situations they did more damage and in other situations it was possible that risks vs benefits calculation wasn't clear.
