What public health professionals can learn from anti-vaccine storytelling

As long as there have been vaccines, there have been people who doubted their science and safety.

In the United States, organizations dedicated to resisting vaccines have existed since the Anti-Compulsory Vaccination League of Brooklyn was established in 1894.
