There are few subjects as controversial as vaccine scepticism. Nicknamed 'anti-vaxxers', the opponents are under heavy corporate and state censorship and subject to draconian state measures.

This is regardless of any actual vaccine-skeptic arguments, be they ethical, scientific - or lack of faith in the integrity of the often corporate driven and corrupt scientific studies - military/intelligence applications of vaccines or other grounds.

'Anti-vaxxers' are a broad group, and the censorship supporters often pick examples from the more outré anti-vaccine claims, ignoring and lumping together all criticism as based on pure ignorance, if not malicious intent.

Censorship of 'anti-vaxxers' is often used as a wedge to further general censorship, and often finds support even with people who otherwise oppose political censorship, and large sections of the alternative media.

Social media corporations routinely hide and ban vaccine-skeptic views, and governments have set down task forces to clamp down on vaccine opponents.

The World Health Organization said anti-vaccine views were a "top 10 global health threat" in 2019.[1]
