Welcome to steemit. Nice post. Very well written. Look forward to your #introduceyourself post, though I happen to know you already. I am going to resteem this post.
I think you'll find people here on steemit will engage with you on this topic in a different way than you are used to.
I for one consider then entire you are either for vaccines, or you are an anti-vaxxer a false dichotomy.
There are many types of people, many different choices. They also have many different beliefs besides those two distinctly black and white choices.
I've written about this a bit myself before...
Your encouragement is the biggest reason I am here, and I am sure the people will be why I stay ;) I look forward to reading more! Thank you for those links related to mine and I have started drafting an introduction.
I believe you will do quite well. You seem to have a gift for writing. Enjoy the community. If you encounter assholes (very rare here) either ignore them, or at worst case you can MUTE people by going to their profile. I kind of doubt you will need this.
Good luck, I am following and will keep an eye out. Shoot me an IM when you get your introduceyourself post up.
