Abstract
This study uses data collected from an internet message board to analyze arguments favoring vaccine resistance. The results replicate previous research into vaccine-resistant groups and identify three themes in vaccine-resistance discussion. The themes identified were: first, feelings of persecution and conspiracy theories; second, feelings of guilt; and third, community-building strategies.
