Normal people worried about vaccines: “vaccine hesitancy.” This is good, I like this term.
Powerful people making money and gaining power by making people terrified of proven-safe medical treatments: “anti-vaxxers.”
Ok, but actually I don’t like this term.

my husband broke his leg after he got hit by a car riding his bike (wear a helmet, kids!) so we’re cancelling all of our summer travel and plans. i’ll be focusing all of my energy on:
1.) the new season of big brother
2.) costuming another community theater show (and this time getting paid for it)
