Britain's government plans to call a summit of social media companies to discuss what more they can do to fight online misinformation about vaccines following a spike in measles cases.
Though anti-vaccine sentiments have been around for as long as vaccines have existed, health experts worry that anti-vaccine propaganda can spread more quickly on social media. That can push parents who are worried about vaccines toward refusing to inoculate their children against various diseases, leading to their comeback.
Some companies, such as Twitter, don't have policies against misinformation, so anti-vax propaganda wouldn't be against their rules. But to counter such material, Twitter said U.S. and U.K. users who search for information on vaccines get a government information site first from their respective countries. In the U.K., this is the National Health Service.
Damn, this guy looks like a short trump!!
This gentleman is not allegedly bright.
Anti-vaxxers are misinformed and dangerous. A disease that was eradicated has returned because some individuals are too egotistical to accept the truth.
