And I hope you don't agree with the sentiment, either. It seems that now 
any point of view that someone disagrees with can be vilified by calling 
it 'anti-X', where X is some pov you approve of. This takes it way 
beyond things like vaccination, where the science is incontrovertible, 
and applies it to anything, even where there are reasonable grounds for 
disagreement, and conveniently dismisses nuances that may exist (as with 
'mask-wearing').

This is disappointing, because it greatly weakens the impact that the 
term 'anti-vaxxer' has. If I thought they had the brains, I'd suspect it 
was a deliberate ploy by them, to achieve exactly this end, but I don't. 
It's probably just a happy (for them) coincidence.

Don't think that this opinion makes me an 'anti-masker', because I'm not 
(nuances, remember).
