“The woman said she regretted not getting her kids vaccinated when the outbreak started.”
These kinds of stories are helpful for the vaccine hesitant parents
The goal isn’t to convince the anti-vax, but out compete the vacuum that they have taken in public communications

On my tour of his farm, McAfee showed me his pathogen laboratory, where he says he tests every batch of raw milk.
"We catch these things and divert the milk immediately."
