Not everyone critiquing alternative medicine is "dunking." It's the tenets of alternative medicine that fuel harmful movements, like those who oppose giving their newborns vitamin K shots. There's a lot of complexity here, and this argument is pretty reductionist. https://twitter.com/VPrasadMDMPH/status/1188964782184919042 …

I didn't mean to imply it's all easy but I think lazy dunks on the ideology that assume antivaxxers are wrong on the science can be effective political messaging -- not to the antivaxxers but to the public as a whole

The problem is the vaccine hesitant (i.e. not "hardcore" antivaxxers) often have some trigger or phobia that the antivaxxers are relying upon. Fear of the rich, fear of the medical establishment, fear of science, fear of big government.. Science doesn't fix those phobias.
