Heidi Larson : Rumors, trust and vaccines

Rumors, trust and vaccines

Summary

Actually, I've wanted to know about the solution to this story. It’s because my mother hasn’t believed in vaccines strongly. I left home, thus l could get my medicines, though, my sister is at home. She hasn’t believed in vaccines and medicines that l used. I am getting better, though, she is not changing.

In the story, the speaker explores how medical rumors originate, spread, and fuel resistance to vaccines worldwide. I was really surprised at the story. I thought the accident has happened only in Japan, the reason is that newspapers and media in Japan are always spreading about populism, and my mother loves to read one bad newspaper.

However, it’s worldwide and people who are most likely to vote for a populist party seem to be the ones most likely to strongly disagree that vaccines are important, safe, or effective. They don’t want to agree with the government, big business markets, and elite scientists. Just, that’s it. They don’t think that children can be helped and side effects are not big. Most people believe that vaccines are good, though, the belief is under attack and the lives that can be helped cannot be helped. Mothers refuse to vaccinate for their children.

The speaker tells us that first, explaining to stop the disease. Talk, listen, and build trust with each other, though, l think that opponents never listen to us, but they must think that we never listen to them also. it parallels forever.
