    Interesting study of the moral foundations of anti-vac parents. They place greater moral weight on concerns of purity and liberty. Pro-vaxxers emphasis on harm and fairness therefore does not connect. Different arguments need to be tested.https://www.vox.com/2017/12/5/16733744/vaccines-parents-anti-vax …

        Parents fall for anti-vac because they have stopped reading. They stopped learning. They think reading stops when high school or college ends. They have forgotten (or perhaps never learned) how to make reasoned decisions.

        Yup. You’ve done more research than 20,000 pediatricians worldwide, right? And your medical degree is from where?

        Follow the leader...you somehow trust your airline pilot to land the plane, right? So we shouldn’t trust them? You really think 20,000 pediatricians are engaged in a worldwide conspiracy to give children autism? Because that’s what you’re saying.

        “Multiple pediatricians?” Does the American Academy of Pediatrics count? Because their YEARS of scientific analysis conducted by hundreds of researchers shows that vaccines do not cause autism.

        Lessons here are broader than anti-vax/pro-vax. Mirrors issues between left/right, democrat/republican. People are speaking past one another. As with all things, important to listen and understand where people are coming from.

        Just to be clear though, you’re not suggesting the parties align neatly on either side? My impression is many anti-vax are left of center

        My broad point is that we often lack true understanding of what drives beliefs and behavior. Need to listen first. That would allow us to craft a response in the context of the other person's belief system. Which might prove a more effective approach.

        Replying to @Atul_Gawande

        It's more interesting to me to see social scientists remain focused on how to frame appeals to get around parental objections, rather than start from premise that vax-hesitant parents have differently weighted (and not inferior) values. That must change.

        Great post @Atul_Gawande . Explains very well what I encountered during #flushot acceptance research among HCPs. Definitely a sociological component, hesitants and refusers tended to be much more individualistic, me, my rights etc... Accepters much more community focused.

        I am not anti-vac, but when I see attacks on people who question the vaccine schedule or the need for certain vaccines, I think of these pro-Vaxxers as sanctimonious assholes. Just sayin’.

        Parochial view, perhaps, but as someone interested in medical and public health ethics what's fascinating to me is the underlying implication in the study that medical decisions are actually made primarily on "moral" bases. That might be a revelation to some.

        Reminiscent of the sentiments of Christian Scientists towards medical care in general.
