      And the anti-vax folks don’t want to be labeled that - but they choose not to believe science and so it is ok to label them. That is what they are. Again, they are lost in misinformation - I won’t change their mind, because facts don’t matter to them.

      I label the leaders - and talk to the patients. When you have someone who says, “Well all these kids get autism after vaccines..” like @billmaher even admitting science has proven this to be correlation and not causation - is that helpful? It stokes fears in parents

      Well @billmaher has had a lot of time and people in his life to explain things to him and he has a single focus - we can explain until the cows come home, he has a view which is unchanged by science - I talk to the people who he might influence and work to override them

      No, he’s not provax. It’s telling that the example on his show that he used to “prove” his provax bona fides was that if there were a vaccine for Ebola and he had to go to an area where Ebola outbreaks had occurred he’d get the vaccine

          Let’s just say that if you have to construct such a specific and unusual hypothetical in order to argue that you’re not antivax, chances are very good that you’re antivax.

          This year 2100 have died of Ebola and he would get that vaccine but we have had 150k die of measles, over 500k die of influenza @billmaher isn’t pro vaccine or pro science.

          Bill Maher came to the pro-science views he does have (e.g., on climate change) not by science and reason, but through ideology. Conservatives question climate science; so he defends it. Fundamentalist Christians question evolution; so he accepts and defends it.

          No - Russians did not develop Ebola vaccination that was J and J and its first trial was 5 years ago between NIH and Oxford.
