      Here's a good rule of thumb: If the term "vaccine choice" or "informed consent" appears in the name of a vaccine-related organization, that organization is antivaccine. If there's an exception to this axiom, I have yet to see it in 20 years of combatting antivax misinformation.

      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.

          If measure of "cult-like" mentality is an unwillingness to consider new info or change one's mind about something, does a person who insists every currently available ped. vaccine for every child = overall health bargain -despite science which questions that assumption-- qualify?

          I don't know. I've never encountered anyone like that.
