    Scary. Anti-vaxxers have a dangerous theory called “natural immunity.” Now it’s going mainstream.https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/05/anti-vaxxers-have-a-dangerous-theory-called-natural-immunity-now-its-going-mainstream/ …

        How much of their national attention do you think is coming from accidentally platforming them? It’s of course important to cover them but I wonder if context in articles like this are important as a social deterrent against this dangerous behavior?

        Good question. Coverage may imply importance. The article is pretty negative but it’s kind of long. Would an antivaxer or anyone else read the whole thing? I don’t know.

        Living alongside one of the longtime anti-vaccination hotspots (Ashland, Oregon), I don't think it's overstated, and I think it will get worse.

        I'm sad to say I think you are correct.

        We lack the technology to fast track vaccine development, which takes 10-20 years. This type of vaccine can harm you upon reexposure. This same phenonenon occurred with the dangerous Dengue vaccine that killed a lot of children. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/09/critics-alarmed-lack-interest-studying-children-put-risk-dengue-vaccine … https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0035421 …

        "Younger children, especially those between 2 and 5 years of age, who did not have dengue antibodies prior to receiving the vaccine—so-called seronegatives—were at an increased risk of ending up in the hospital if they received the vaccine and then got dengue anyway".
