    Antivaxers make the perfect the enemy of the good (or even excellent). Basically, it's because, contrary to their claims otherwise, they are antivaccine. They know there will never be a perfect vaccine, which lets them dismiss all vaccines as imperfect.https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/while-searching-for-the-perfect-vaccine-keep-using-the-very-good/ …

        We need to come up with better stock photos for vaccines.

        They exist (thanks @AmerAcadPeds and @SELFmagazine), but we need to spread the word so other media people use them instead of these inaccurate ones! https://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/aap-press-room/Pages/Immunizations-Image-Gallery.aspx …

        They are far rarer than deaths from preventable diseases, and you know that.

        Also a perfect analogy to politics today. Although the article cites elections as an example of contrary behavior, one can argue that one side refuses to vote except for the one perfect political unicorn, the other blindly accepts all the lies as long as their end goals are met.

        Asked my NP to go over my shot record, and was overdue on pneumonia, and got a new & better shingles shot. Good that tetanus is up to date cos I'm a klutz. Everyone should ask if they need vaccine updates!

        My SIL just had shingles...no fun. Told my husband to try to get one early (if it's age-restricted by his insurance) since now 2 sisters have had it.

        Hope they enjoy caring for children who are dying, or permanently damaged by common, preventable illnesses. Perhaps they should read about child mortality before vaccines.
