The date of publication for this article (Feb. 2020) is highly relevant.
In some countries, such as Austria the unvaccinated have been deprived of their civil liberties -- "locked down". You can think vaccines have some protective ability but oppose coerced vaccination. Does that make you an "anti-vaxxer"?
According to Merriam-Webster, it does: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anti-vaxxer
Interesting then how quickly the label of vaccine on an experimental drug can skew how the whole world ends up labeling you.

Merriam-Webster, the Orwellian dictionary which changed the definition of "sexual preference" just after Amy Coney Barrett used it in her SCOTUS appointment hearings? [1][2]

[1] Snopes: Did Merriam-Webster Update Its Entry on ‘Sexual Preference’ After Barrett Hearing? https://archive.ph/dFEIk

[2] Of course, they say only changed it merely "after" she used it, not "because" of it. But come on...

Just for the sake of geeking out, here are some definitions from other dictionaries I could find:

Macmillan [1]: someone who believes that vaccinations are harmful to human health and so refuses to vaccinate their children against childhood diseases

Lexico (Oxford) [2]: A person who is opposed to vaccination.

Cambridge [3]: someone who does not agree with vaccinating people (= giving them injections to prevent disease) and spreads and encourages opinions against vaccines

Wikitionary [4]: A person who opposes vaccination, as for its purported dangerous effects.

Dictionary.com [5]: a person who distrusts or is against vaccination, especially a parent who refuses to have a young child vaccinated.

American Heritage [6] and Longman [7]: It seems that they do not have an entry. Collins also doesn't have an entry, but apparently there was a suggestion for adding it in 2015. [8]

Merriam-Webster also changed the definition of "vaccine".

Jan 18th, 2021: https://web.archive.org/web/20210118193104/https://www.merri...

> a preparation of killed microorganisms, living attenuated organisms, or living fully virulent organisms that is administered to produce or artificially increase immunity to a particular disease

Now:

> a preparation that is administered (as by injection) to stimulate the body's immune response against a specific infectious agent or disease

yep
It's not like the industry has a stellar reputation for putting the publics interest ahead of profits. Oxycodone, $700 EpiPen.

How do we know vaccines aren't addictive. almost every person I've seen once they've had one they go back for more and more.

I didn't address that. I just said if you oppose mandatory vaccines, you are classified as "antivax". It may even turn out that the folks opposing mandatory vaccines were in fact acting in the morally correct manner (if for some reason it does turn out there is a systemic risk introduced by the vaccine that greatly exceeds the risks it reduces), although that is both unlikely to occurr, and unlikely to be vindicating.

Implying vaccines are addictive is either trolling, ignorance, or willful stupidity. Please come up with better, more informed kinds of industry hate.

I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated (most anti-vaxxers are irrational), but coercive mandates aren't justified.

"No I don't think it should be mandatory, I wouldn't demand it be mandatory."

Lies don't exist in this post modern society. Simply changing decisions as the science changes and we get a deeper understanding of the situation. /s
