Someone Sick Of Hearing Anti-Vaxxers’ Stupid Arguments Creates 31 Scientific Posters That Completely Destroy Their Logic
There's a Facebook page called The Vaccination Station and it's doing god's work. Instead of belittling anti-vaxxers, they are trying to show that immunization works.
"This is a pro-vaxx page sharing information about all aspects of vaccination. Questions are welcome, but unsubstantiated claims will be treated with the scepticism they deserve. If you want to disagree, bring science and evidence," The Vaccination Station introduced itself.
After gathering information from reputable professionals qualified in relevant fields, the page presents it with comprehensible posters. Not everyone has the patience or the time to read scientific papers, so this format is perfect not only for convincing anti-vaxxers to change their minds, but to prepare those who might meet them as well.

Sadly these posters won’t convince those anti-vaxx morons, they only see what they want to see and I doubt they can even read properly anyway.
“I am deeply concerned by the resurgence of the modern anti-vaxx movement and its negative impact on public health; an impact which can be traced directly (though not exclusively) to Andrew Wakefield’s fraudulent MMR study of 1998,” the man behind The Vaccination Station, Dave, told Bored Panda. “I want to demystify vaccination by explaining it in terms that anyone can understand.”
Throughout his life, Dave has met only met a few anti-vaxxers in the real world. “Most of them were personal friends who have since cut me off. Discussions about vaccines did not go well; they simply refused to listen.” However, many have reached out to him via social media. “I am regularly accused of being a paid shill for the pharmaceutical industry,” he said. “One person even said I must be a bot! The truth is that I’m just a regular dad with a Facebook page that I manage by myself, with no funding from anyone.”
While working on the project, Dave has learned quite a few things. “Firstly, anti-vaxx propaganda must be engaged & refuted at its primary source: social media. The influence of the ‘post-truth’ era has sadly eroded public confidence in professional expertise. Furthermore, there is an urgent need to teach & promote critical thinking skills such as logic & deductive reasoning.”
“Scientific consensus is based on strength of evidence, not volume of voices,” he added. “No amount of sincere belief will change facts that are inconvenient to your worldview.”
"Fake news! Fake media! Big pharma paid that! Oh, an aromatic oil that heals cancer, removes warts and can be used to clean the plumbing? This web site says it worked for 3 people over the courseof 30 years already, while only killing the otner 4737 who tried it? Creditable information! I NE
Ok, this infuriates me more than anything else on this list. They really claim that severe brain damage comes from anything else than violently shaking their Baby? I have no words for that level of ignorance
Poor Yosef probably believes in chemtrails, flat earth, and Deep State too!
why is it so hard to convince these so called "anti-vaxxers"? do they really loves their child? or are they influenced by some people scheming on how to reduce human population?
Yeah, do the anti-vaxxers wonder why they aren't sick all the time? "Oh, I use essential oils every morning and eat healthy." No, while you were a child, your parents got you vaccinated from all of these preventable diseases, but you are too selfish to realize you are killing your child. Anti-vaxxers will only realize their mistakes when someone close to them dies from the sickness, because they didn't vaccinate them.
As a woman with HPV 16, I have already had one count of abnormal cells, face annual Pap smears, and if I have a second abnormal smear, it has been suggested as I have been through menopause, I should have a hysterectomy. If only we had gardasil vaccine when I was young. This is given free in Australian schools, and as a teacher, who use to take my class down for their injections. I was stunned at the number who opted out. Point of interest, boys are also susceptible to these viruses and should also be vaccinated.
It also takes a lot of mercury to adversely effect the brain. The Mad Hatter from Alice and Wonderland was portrayed as crazy because he was representing old time Haberdashers who used to treat the brims of hats with mercury to kill bacteria while protecting the fabric. Eventually, after years and years of use...they would go crazy from the build up of mercury. The amount in a few vaccines, even if it did accumulated in the blood, would not be enough to cause brain damage.
And here is the key. I can talk to antivaxxers for hours about research, but the thing that gets through is always my anecdotical evidence when telling them how a difteria or pertussis child look, sound and suffer.
And it is the healthy children who can protect the ones who, for whatever reason, do not have that strong immune system.
Suggest future versions of this poster spell 'diphtheria' correctly.
"This is false" homie brings down an entire chain of arguments with three words and cold hard facts
So, as someone who does not like needles (and with kids afraid of needles) I have o ask: If there is no practical difference, why WHY W-H-Y(!) are most vaccines inhected?
that's right man hit 'em with the "this is false" again, it's hilarious how many of anti-vaxxers' arguments are outright false
It's important to stick with facts when talking about any hot topic (immunizations, politics, religion, etc.) and be respectful instead of hurling insults or treating people with contempt or hate. Not everyone will listen to facts, however resorting to personal attacks is shameful and doesn't accomplish anything.
One of my favorite lines: Two things that never get old: dark humor and kids that aren't vaccinated. In my view, vaccination is a public health matter. Their use should be legislated and then enforced. There are those very few who cannot be vaccinated, so there's the exception. Public health matters should always supercede personal beliefs. 300+ years of established science fact as opposed to a discredited and greedy manufacturer of vaccines whose only real support was from a sixth-rate actress who fits the old maxim of better seen than heard.

Herd immunity would protect people like him, infants, elderly, and those with compromised immune system. Instead he got whooping cough and HPV. He was horribly sick, it was frightening. BUT he did not die. Without the immunity of the vaccine, he would not have been able right the disease. If more people had vaccines, herd immunity - when enough people are vaccinated the disease can't spread - he would never have gotten the illness. Before I even finish explaining, I am cut off because someone's kid became autistic because of a vaccine. Someone they read about on the Internet, not someone they know.
Sweetheart, from one mom to another I AM TRULY , SOULY SORRY YOUR BABY WAS ILL..... I have twins both on autism spectrum, one with developmental delay and heart disease and his twin is fully autistic.. I try to tell people it's only thought to be connected because when autism is noticed is when about the times kids get those vaccines. You can't tell autism at birth it's when they don't hit those milestones like other kids and start showing differences.. but the age it's the age that coincides with the autism diagnosis but has no relevance at all...I'm sorry you guys went through such hell...my heartbreaks when I think of any kid suffering... Kills me.. seeing your kid hooked up to machines does things to you.. PTSD maybe.. but I think of the unvaccinated kids losing their limbs their bodies to these diseases that were eradicated hundred years ago.. heartbreaking. Truly. I wish you and your family everything good in life. And lottery money .
