Vaccine critic

Vaccine critic is a poorly defined concept describing people including:


 * A penumbra of those who are not entirely anti-vaccinationist but campaign to prevent or avoid some aspect of vaccination such as a single component of a particular vaccine for one or more specific reasons applying only to that component


 * Anti-vaccinationists (those opposed to all vaccination) who describe themselves as critics.

The concept can be identified from viewing various of the anti-vaccination websites and is referred to in a Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine (2005) review describing the differences between contemporary anti-vaccination campaigns and those before 1907 .

Vaccine critics should be distinguishable from anti-vaccinationists by being in favour of some specific immunisations for some specific people in some specific circumstances, and explaining those clearly.
