In the US we have "protected classes" of people against whom one cannot discriminate, defined by race, gender, age, disability, and veteran status. Antivax cranks are definitely not such a group. My opinions about antivax stuff may be stronger than others because I am old enough to have a smallpox vaccination scar on my shoulder, to have known polio victims who walked with braces and canes, and around 1960 having been in the hospital ward with the iron lung at the end and where they burned everything I touched because they thought I might have had polio. I had been vaccinated but they weren't yet sure how effective it was. (Very, it turned out.) Fortunately, it was just a bad cold.
