Thank you for this. I've been doing a lot of public education these last few weeks and as a newly minted RN, this really helps.

I’m a social worker and work with so many parents who are hesitant about vaccinations. This is so helpful!

This is amazing! I always knew y'all would find a way to reach vaccine-hesitant patients! It's what you do every day!

This was very impressive and beyond just pediatrics. But really knowing how to address people's concerns on an empathetic level rather than throwing science at them & not understanding why they're not convinced. I was just having this conversations with my 55 you mom earlier today and trying to get her to get the flu vaccine, especially that she gets sick so often, and one of the things she said was "isn't it too late now? They were vaccinating back in September/October". Took a screenshot of that one infographic to send her! Thank you for your efforts!

And interesting training module! The emphasis on communication is excellent and it's something I prized from several of my mentors in training and during my medical career.

Med industry Trust is pretty much destroyed. It is basically a biblical reference to "The love of Money..." DR's are paid to push products directly via extra insurance payments..want to see their payoffs? for a small pediatric practice with 3-5 docs, the vx payout is worth an extra million per year! Pharma has had the largest payouts for fraud of any industry by billions! Have you seen the Wyeth DPT letter from 1979's hot lot? \

Hard to trust any medical papers when 80% cannot be reproduced: the definition of scientific misconduct.

Nice that we have a place that will actually listen to the reality.

I'm dismayed at your description of public health. After Covid, I'd have hoped for more improvement.

This was very fun! I'm not a clinician, but public health. I tried Emma's room and made it out! Woo!

Genuinely curious, what is the "truth about vaccines" that you are referring to.
