“[Antivaxxers are] about casting doubt on science that they don’t like, using whatever disinformation techniques they deem necessary, be it cherry picking studies, distorting data, producing bad science of their own, or attacking the scientists defending current scientific understandings.”
My funniest online debate with an antivaxxer was in response to my requesting evidence for the dangers of #vaccines. They sent me a link to a paper that demonstrates this. The first line of the conclusion stated that the vaccines they tested were very safe and quite effective. Whether she never read it herself or was hoping I wouldn’t, I’m not sure.
