Are there really antivax people that would know the word "covariate?" That's gotta be a small Venn diagram overlap.

They might know the word. Understanding what it means in context is a different matter.
You see this all the time where people will pick up niche jargon and misapply it.
Antivaxers surpisingly know quite a lot of lingo. What they lack is an understanding of experimental methods.
I'm fine with vaccines, i just dont want my kids to particpate in the experiemnt for a disease that they have 0% chance of dying from.
The case fatality ratio for measles infected children in high-income countries is also low. Nonetheless, we vaccinate children for this infectious disease because morbidity is also bad.
Which disease is that? I'm not aware of any disease that's commonly vaccinated against that has a 0% death rate in children.

Sovcits similarly use lots of complicated legal terms.
They just don't use them correctly and/or appropriately.
