I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

Anti-vaxxers are irresponsible idiots that is for sure. >:( I have come across quite a number of them on various forums, particularly the forums for over 50s. The garbage they spout is dangerous if they persuade people to see it their way.

I make a point of never calling them "anti-vaxxers", because that's what they want to be called. They think giving themselves a quirkily-spelled abbreviation normalises them, so I call them "anti-vaccinators" (or something ruder). (This is not a criticism of you for calling them that.)
