Merriam-Webster Thought Police Just Changed The Definition Of ‘Anti-Vaxxer’ To Attack Opponents Of Government Mandates – The Federalist

Merriam-Webster expanded the definition of the word anti-vaxxer to encompass people who do not believe government bureaucrats have the authority to force shot mandates on individuals.

According to Merriam-Websters online dictionary, the definition for the popular abbreviation of anti-vaccine not only describes a person who opposes the use of vaccines but also anyone who opposes regulations mandating vaccination.

He said, while he will not get the COVID-19 vaccine, he is not an anti-vaxxer against all vaccinations, one of the examples listed in the online definition stated.

Another example claims that some self-identifiedanti-vaxxers are vehemently against all vaccines while some are skeptical of specific vaccines.

The term, the dictionary site explained, especially applies to a parent who opposes having his or her child vaccinated.

Previous versions of the anti-vaxxer webpage suggest that the word used to be defined as a person who opposesvaccination or laws that mandate vaccination. (emphasis added). It wasnt until sometime on Oct. 4, the same day that U.S. officials outlined specific instructions for all federal employees to comply with President Joe Bidens COVID-19 vaccine mandate for government workers, that Merriam-Webster swapped the word laws for regulations.

Merriam-Webster did not immediately respond to The Federalists request for comment.

The quiet switch also comes on the heels of Bidens basically unenforceable and nonexistent vaccine mandate for private businesses that employ 100 or more employees. As The Federalists Joy Pullmann noted:

The White House, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Department of Labor havent released any official guidance for the alleged mandate. There is no executive order. Theres nothing but press statements.

Despite what you may have been falsely led to believe by the media fantasy projection machine, press statements have exactly zero legal authority.
