Beautifully thorough. Sadly, people with firm antivaccination beliefs don't seem to be swayed by facts. I struggle with what I can possibly do about that, as I have friends in this category. They don't trust the difference between the unscientifically valid "studies" and the scientifically valid ones. And I'm afraid to send this to them because I honestly don't want to hear another conspiracy theory. Ugh.
I think the first way is to not hit them with facts. View this as a way of equipping you with the facts. Then approach them with curiosity and compassion. Ask them what concerns they have, why, and what information would help alleviate their concerns. Then from that curiosity sometimes facts can be brought it. But often this takes of time and effort.
Thank you for an amazing review! Now, if only the anti-science crowd would read this.
Thanks for this thorough review!
