You really think they'll understand?

They are incapable to read facts and statistics on how vaccines eliminated or reduced terrible illnesses.

They won't understand what you are saying.

It depends how deep they are. I run into a depressing number that have just been caught up in the misinformation storm. Getting them to stop and think often helps recalibrate their thinking.

It doesn't help much on those that are deep enough their ego is heavily involved.
