7 Graphs That Debunk Anti-Vaccine Claims (policymic.com)

I think articles like this are great, but the sad reality is that you'll never be able to convince a vaccine denier to change their mind. They already know their beliefs contradict scientific consensus, so providing them with additional data won't change anything.

People who think this way only react to personal experience and anecdotal evidence. It's going to take someone they know getting sick to get them to reconsider.


Some of those graphs and arguments are terrible, and probably would help the antivaxer arguments than hinder them.


yeah, I kind of agree. I thought it was an interesting approach though, worthy of some discussion.
