It's like writing about cancer patients who die unnecessarily after choosing quackery instead of cancer. No matter how empathetic and careful you are as you show why the story doesn't support the quackery, you WILL be perceived by some as attacking the patient or the parents.

Of course, antivax leaders and quacks know this.
@DrStanBurzynski, for instance, cynically wielded dying patients and their families like human shields against criticism and government crackdown on his selling expensive cancer quackery.Show this thread

That's probably the case where I'm most sympathetic to anti-vax parents. It's so human to want to find a *reason* and preferably a reason that isn't your fault. And it's easy to fall into the post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy. The cynical anti-vaxxers who take advantage? UGH.

If someone's child dies and they falsely accuse you of murdering him, then according to anti-vaxxer logic, you are being disrespectful to them if you claim that you are innocent.

A baby died of SIDS the night before he was scheduled to have his 2 month vaccines. If it had happened the next day, vaccines would hav incorrectly been blamed.
