Can we start by targeting religious and political leaders who lead the charge on questioning vaccine efficacy? It's a top down disinformation campaign. Targeting individual parents will punish them after their kids get sick, but it won't change public perception from distrusting vaccines into lining up to get them. Although once kids start dying more frequently, we may see that perception change naturally like during the Spanish Flu.
Too true. I like that direction. Stop the nonsense at the source.
Feels like them spreading the misinformation is the same as yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theater when none exist.
RFK Jr has a kill count higher than Osama Bin Laden, but there are no repercussions for intentional medical misinformation.
