      Yes. We cannot ignore them. That's exactly what what we did for years as they built up an empire of fake websites, movies, books & hundreds of grifters exploiting parents by weaponizing & monetizing social media. It's time to fight back using social media against them. Join us!https://twitter.com/gurneetmd/status/1270932050862882819 …

      @thereal_truther Can you really win against these anti-scientific people? Why not ignore them & just focus on public education?

      That doesn't mean we ignore public education. But as I've said before we need to fight fire with fire. The old methods have not worked. They're still a fringe movement but they are well-funded fringe with very a very dedicated base. If we continue to ignore they'll only increase.

      Ask @PeterHotez or @gorskon. Ignoring them is not the answer.

      It's pointless to argue with antivaxxers. You will not change their minds. The vaccine-averse and parents who have heard antivax misinformation and are frightened by it are another matter entirely. Engaging with them isn't arguing. Rather, it's attempting to educate.

      Replying to @gorskon @maximumover and

      There is one reason to refute antivaxxers, though, and that's to show parents who might be influenced by their disinformation why it's disinformation. In other words, the "arguing" is not to change the mind of the antivaxxer, but for others who might be influenced by them to see.

          Plus the longer they go on for the higher the likelihood they say something morally objectionable which makes their entire belief system a whole lot less sympathetic

          My husband asks why I bother and I say it's for the fence sitters I stay, plus it can be quite amusing on occasion.
