This is, in it’s own way, a hilarious proof of the problem. Multiple experts keep telling you this is false, this isn’t how it works, even linking evidence, and look! It doesn’t change their belief! What am I not surprised? Because that’s what the evidence shows.

When non-medical folks have come to us saying they’ve learned something or have come around with their beliefs, that’s 1 more person who has benefitted.

It's way more than 50,000, actually—and unfortunately. And don't forget Del Bigtree. He made an antivaccine conspiracy movie disguised as a documentary that's spread misinformation to many thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, and it was on
