    This is very true, but we are definitely outnumbered and outgunned by the antivax side. Despite their self-portrayal as underdogs facing big pharma, they have more money, more people, and apparently more time to flood social media with their misinformation and pseudoscience.https://twitter.com/BioChicaGMO/status/1097282150213152768 …

    The leader of large antivaxx community claims that his group’s popularity is bc provaxxers aren’t on social media. That’s simply not true. There are large groups and communities: @RtAVM @ScienceBasedMed @TheSciBabe @_Credible_Hulk_ just to name a few /1 https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanhatesthis/facebook-anti-vaccination-vaxxer-communities-promotions-ads …

        In part, it may be that most people are pro vaccine, but it’s not an obsession, not a single defining issue. They understand it’s the right thing, and don’t see a need to fight anymore than they go out to fight for seatbelts or for not starving your child.

        Exactly, and when it comes to press coverage, how newsworthy a lead would it be to start a story profiling the typical/majority parent who gets their kid vaccinated?

        Fortunately we have science and hard evidence on our side. Oh wait, facts mean nothing in our current political and socioeconomic climate. 😓

        Facts have never been the most important factor in public debate. Anecdotes make initial changes in thoughts, and then facts can help reinforce the message. Check out @stopavn in Australia.

        Are they trying to kill their kids or the rest of us? Are we sure this isn’t like the GRU face book group started to get weak-minded people to gather to fight in public places?

        Replying to @gorskon

        The way the anti-vax zealots swarm on social media is disturbing. Little pediatric practices post something pro-vaccine and they get a bunch of negative comments and reviews. All it takes is a few to hijack a comment section. And I recently saw this: https://www.facebook.com/staceysagerABC7/photos/a.1422507758004636/2128575914064480/?type=3&theater …
