And it didn’t work.
The thing that does lover vaccine hesitancy is banning people spreading misinformation.
It’s unfortunate, but it’s the discovered strategy for saving lives.
This idea that people aren't smart enough to make their own decisions and need you to spoon feed them the "right" information is the real problem here.
More like fewer people engage in the discussion or share the information _where those researchers are looking_.
In reality, you're going to push people off Twitter and onto Gab, Parler, and Stormfront.
You can cite all the research you want. I've seen these effects of censorship first hand. Just makes matters way worse. If you believe all these people with different opinions are simply stupid, you're going to have a bad time. And, in my experience, such statements are a good proxy for middling intelligence on the part of the speaker.
The people who are just saying “obey” are the ones who want power over everyone else.
When? Where? I avoid vaccine debates and even so I can't help but come across all the conspiracy theories about the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines. The only counterpoint I've ever seen is "the science is too complicated for your feeble brain to comprehend, take the vaccine".
