The tendency for anti-vaxxers to believe in their delusions more the more they are contradicted with facts is a thorny problem.

However the flow of new misinformation also strengthens their beliefs, and draws in new people to the delusional cause. Overall I think deleting this misinformation channel is still a net positive.

We need some psychologists on the case. Or advertising professionals.
