There's not enough consensus and science communicators haven't been successful with convincing the American public about vaccines. This research will also be some of the most impactful science the CDC produces. If we bring all the deniers and skeptics to agree on a way to test it (e.g. double blind study), and then the results don't match their opinions, then continued denials makes their case unreasonable.
- watwut 2y agoFrankly, issue is not with science communicators not being successfully. Vaccines were accepted... until conservatives started to lie lie lie and lie again. This is not about lacking research. This is about lying for profit.
- snailmailstare 2y agoRight, if it is unreasonable a bunch of climate change denying creationists who think Canada is responsible for the US' drug problems will feel totally ashamed. Maybe they will even go to area 51 to ask for safe passage away from their shame in this galaxy.
