Except it was science which told them vaccinations were dangerous and caused autism in the first place.
Except it was science which told them vaccinations were dangerous and caused autism in the first place. Now of course the scientific position has (rightly) changed, but we have to explain when it wasn't correct before, and is broken now. When I talk to my relatives, they remember when vaccinations were dangerous, when we switched from "global warming" to "global cooling", and now to "climate change" which lets science claim any old change as forwarding their cause. To be clear, I side with science on this, but for people who don't follow science all the time, I can see how it's easy to get tired of the "no, we have the right answer now, ignore that previous answer". See also basically everything to do with eating/fats/etc. LATER EDIT: I was not clear in this post. By "science which told them" on the first line, I meant to say "The version of science as portrayed by much of the media". The media blew the autism/vaccine issue hugely, and kept the controversy going for a long time.
