      Interesting question: Why should respected researchers stay away from #antivax conferences? My arguments failed to convince highly regarded vaccine-researcher @StabellBenn. Are there more persuasive arguments out there? @gorskon @DrPaulOffit @noelTbrewer @skepticalraptor https://twitter.com/StabellBenn/status/1097152885069172737 …

      Replying to @ProfPHansen @StabellBenn and

      They should stay far away because they give credibility to the antivaccine movement by participating. These people are not mislabeled - they are purely against vaccines. They don't care about a dialogue (no one is advocating for vaccines) and they do not care about science.

      Precisely. Also, antivaxers crave legitimacy, which is why they try to get real scientists and physicians to appear at their conferences. We shouldn't give it to them.

          Replying to @gorskon @KenneyPedersen and

          When people have firm moral or religious beliefs, it ends up being two sides stating platforms, and no persuasion happens. Much the same thing happens when scientists interact with the anti-vaccine activists. Instead, the activists believe only data supporting their positions.

          You can’t debate a theory that is not falsifiable by evidence.

          If you face vaccine deniers, learn and use this potent WHO tool. It’s excellent. @CorneliaBetsch http://www.euro.who.int/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/315761/Best-practice-guidance-respond-vocal-vaccine-deniers-public.pdf …

          Thanks for sharing the WHO document, Noel! 👍🏻 That’s very interesting and I think that the general advices contained there go beyond anti-vax: the same guidelines can be used in debates with other kinds of science-deniers as well! Thanks!!
