The thing is, no matter how politely it is pointed out to them that they are inadvertently amplifying antivax messages, they STILL react poorly, because it is inconceivable to them that they could be doing this. They think they know better.

Too many scientists don't seem to understand that the general public are not scientists and that there are various agendas that will exaggerate, distort and misrepresent what is being said. It's a hopelessly naive attitude that decades of bad science reporting should have fixed.

Yes, avoiding pitfalls is important. It isn’t easy to write on concerns and risks in ways that won’t be misused, especially if you’re not familiar with antivaccine tactics. Maybe we should write something on minimizing that risk, as a prospective thing - an how-to.
