I have a vax scar that looks exactly like this. It’s not the MMR as this tweet claims; I had that one too and there is no scar. This was a smallpox vax, which do commonly leave a mark, and I got it when I was five. I don’t remember, but I’ve been told I was sick for a week.
Clearly, I recovered. Maybe that colors my view on this issue, I dunno.
But to truly understand the position of the individual that tweeted this, go look up some pics of actual smallpox cases, and then visit Wikipedia to learn about how many die right off the bat (some with horrible variations like hemorrhagic smallpox) and how many others survive, many with only massive scarring, but others with lasting internal damage and little-understood post-viral syndromes.
A bunch of these people are scared of needles and are looking for any excuse not to get a needle. They don’t want to feel alone so they spread lies so others don’t get it either.
I think its mostly snake oil sellers and their radicalized victims. The flatmate of my girlfriend was an anti vaccers. She bought some extract from local plants for a 100 € because the guy told her it would soak up the vaccine from the body when there will be mandatory vaccinations.
Of course there were no mandatory vaccinations, having some hobo made tincture working against an mRNA vaccine is clearly ridicilous and she could have collected these plants in the next park and made the extract with some high proof alcohol for less than 5€.
One of the leaders of the covid conspiracy movement in Germany fled to Tansanie having defrauded his followers of more than 10.000.000 €
If you look into conspiracy products it is insane. Some wooden pole with some Glass balls in it? Yeah thats some energy protector, only 6.000 €
Some are really that irrevocably convinced that vaccines are the harmful thing. They don’t know how to question things properly and they end up following whatever lead they got hooked to. It’s a failure of modern education and society to fail to question things correctly. Questioning without logic or reason or being willing to accept you are wrong is unproductive at finding truth. However it’s a potent way towards confirmation bias.

And then, now that you have a better idea of what smallpox is, reflect on how these anti-vaxxers would literally rather have smallpox, and see their kids have smallpox, than brave a preventative vaccine that has worked well for over two hundred years in one form or another.
I will never understand that.
I have two theories.

They want people die and get off on that.

You left out the troll farms run by the enemies of Western liberal democracy.
