We know that about vaccines but trying to explain science and facts to anti-vaxxers is just wasting one's breath.
It is like talking to deeply religious people. Like I tend to say, there is no point in trying to explain science and evidence to someone who does not value science or values their personal beliefs more than science.

It's also not either or. Sometimes people like me get hammered by people that think you have to be anti-vaccine or pro-vaccine. They don't bother to consider there are people like me that believe in vaccines, but believe they should be tested more thoroughly and given strong safety requirements. With how fast some of them are pumped out it is clear this is not the case. One of my children did have a negative reaction to the Pertussis vaccine in the DPT vaccine. The rest of his life he received the D and T vaccines via a different route, but still got them. Not all issues are BLACK and WHITE, and US against THEM. I think sometimes people forget that there are more than two choices. I support vaccines, but I believe they need to be carefully scrutinized and not rushed out the door if big pharma lobbys someone. Also don't force people to take a vaccine that is likely to be worthless to them.
In reality I am not anti-vaccine, but I am an anarchist. I am a voluntaryist. I do not support using FORCE to make people do anything, that would also apply to vaccines. I like the saying "Good ideas don't require force." If things were more OPEN and TRANSPARENT and there was not corruption as so many levels within government I believe this would be mostly a non-issue.
