I'm very pro-nuclear, but I still think this is an extremely unfair comparison. If you actually talk to anti-nuclear advocates, they have reasonable concerns about safety, disposal, oversight, and proliferation.
Now I don't think those concerns override the fact that nuclear fission is our best stop-gap as we slowly transition to renewables. But that doesn't mean everything anti-nuclear folks say is bunk.
The whole anti-vaxx movement, on the other hand, is based almost exclusively on lies and propaganda. Maybe it's because the anti-vaxx movement grew via social media channels, which increased its toxicity substantially.
