> I wish scientists around the world spent more time on how to properly convince vaccine-skeptics that it's safe AND a good idea to take part.

I completely disagree. I think part of why this anti-science attitude is prevalent is because people acknowledge it an try to respond to it. You should not engage in a conversation about whether vaccines cause autism or whether the earth is flat. You simply enact policies that enforce the right thing. Because this shouldn't be a discussion.

Responding to those people only validates their stance.
