As vaccine advocates we can change our tone but companies such as Amazon, YouTube and Facebook must stop profiting off human vulnerability

When it comes to providing accurate medical information, social media is a hot mess. Reporting by the Guardian and elsewhere over the last few months has revealed many troubling examples: the top searches for vaccines on Amazon turn up anti-vaxx books instead; YouTube purposely keeps viewers on its website by suggesting increasingly conspiratorial content; Facebook is a safe haven for propagandists and helps anti-vaxx profiteers make money.

Tech companies don't need to act. Governments do. Simply ban unvaccinated kids from public school and forbid anti vaxxer families from receiving state funded healthcare. Problem solved.

😨

0,001% risk versus 80% risk. Some people rather have the 80% by not vaccinating effectively becoming incubators for mutations so the vaccines don't work for anybody anymore. Thx.

This is the problem of the government and poor education.

Vaxx harming kids

Pro vaxx propaganda is worse as it's a paradigm pushed by governments and large pharmaceutical companies. Who benefits ? Meanwhile those vaccinated are less physically able to fight off diseases.
