As med students, were pretty directly exposed to current issues/dangers associated with non-vaccination movements. When encountering organized non-vaccination rhetoric, do physicians generally engage in dialogue with these groups? Is there room for open and respectful discourse?

Not with the hard core antivaxers. It is not an exaggeration to call them cult-like. You are not going to change their minds. OTOH, is definitely worth it to engage the vaccine-averse. They can be persuaded. Learning to tell the difference between the two is the hard part.

It's what I Iike to refer to as "misinformed consent." Risks of vaccination are made up (e.g., autism, SIDS) or hugely exaggerated, while benefits are downplayed. The risk-benefit discussion is deceptively and grossly skewed against vaccines, hence "misinformed consent."

We disagree today :-). I am all for vaccine choice and informed consent - and I am certainly not antivaccine.

I suspect not. "Informed consent" as used by antivaxers doesn't mean the same thing it means when you or I use it. In reality it is misinformed consent.https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1100033474226987009 …
