Steve - I recommend books such as Metaphors We Live By, by linguist George Lakoff. He points out (as you well know), for 90% of the population, facts don't matter. It's not just vaccines. The human brain is very susceptible to propaganda, myth, biases, any number of irrationalities that overwrite facts. Yes even doctors and scientists (maybe even, especially doctors and scientists).
