We tried being nice. The antivaxxers called us shills
We tried giving the facts, plainly and calmly. The anitvaxxers accused us of crippling their children.
We tried using statistics and data. The antivaxxers photshopped images of prominent pro-vaccines people eating babies
We started giving examples of children injured or lost due to antivaccine fears. The antivaxxers accused us of using emotional appeals as they bemoaned and wailed about the odd fates of their children they ‘knew’ were damaged by vaccines
Then we started seeing outbreaks, and we were done doing this the polite way.
