As long as there’s any evidence supporting their argument, confirmation bias will make it impossible to change an antivaxxer’s mind without un-indoctrinating them. The best most of us can hope for is preventing anyone else from falling down the rabbit hole.
This is just what goes on in medicine science when things are operating properly. Test, collect data, run experiments, do it again, do it again, then, after the short term use has been proven safe 30 different times, by 100’s of research groups, you start researching the long term affects of it.
You’d be surprised. My sibling wasn’t anti-vax but was surrounded by, let’s say less scientifically-inclined people (artists) and didn’t get vaccinated.
Talking over the phone I got my sibling to actually research the topic (actual publications, not social media “do my your own research”) and finally decided to vaccinate.
Some people are probably mostly lost down the social media conspiracy/politics rabbit hole but some aren’t beyond looking at overwhelming evidence and making a reasonable decision based on it.
