The coverage in the media given to non-scientific points of view is also a problem, often turning into blatant propaganda.
I'm thinking of things like the story making the rounds last week about Jennifer Aniston cutting off contact with vaccinated friends, and the one about three unnamed people allegedly fired from cnn for not vaccinating. So many stories with scary headlines and adjectives that don't belong in news articles, and one-sided statistics trying to scare people. Basically telling them what to think.
Instead of educating people the establishment would rather manipulate them. The media and social networks seem happy to oblige. Shouting down those who disagree causes problems in the long run.
