Antivaxxers vs. FDA’s VRBPAC and CDC’s ACIP.

No, Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine doesn't cause female infertility

The FDA’s VRBPAC and the CDC’s ACIP are the two committees that approve vaccines in the US and issue recommendations regarding who should receive which vaccine and when. Predictably, after the recent recommendation that children 5-11 receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is portraying committee members as thralls of big pharma.

COVID-19 vaccines as part of a “depopulation agenda”

Global depopulation
Yep. If you believe antivaxxers, COVID-19 vaccines are part of a "global depopulation" agenda, along with GMOs, the Federal Reserve, eugenics, and all the other conspiracies out there.

Contamination requiring ritual purification: Superstitious concepts at the heart of antivaccine beliefs

One form of ritual purification practiced in Japan. Antivaccine beliefs are steeped in concepts of contamination and the need for ritual purification, which they project onto pro-science advocates.

Much of the belief system that undergirds antivaccine views is rooted in superstition. That’s why it’s not a coincidence that antivaxers frequently speak in terms of contamination due to vaccines as a cause of autism and all the other conditions for which antivaxers blame vaccines and ritual purification in the form of “detoxification” as the treatment. These beliefs very much resemble religious beliefs, and antivaxers project them onto pro-science advocates.
