3. Those that believe vaccines do not cause autism back up their arguments with scientific data, correlated studies, and the opinions of medical professionals. Those that believe vaccines do cause autism often spotlight personal, individual stories (i.e. “my child developed autism after receiving vaccines”), cite pseudoscientific “conspiracy theories,” and rely on discredited scientific studies that support their beliefs.

4. Authority: Both sides quote doctors and other medical professionals.

Social proof: The benefits of vaccines are so widely accepted and proven that many people don’t even question receiving them.

Liking: Anti-vaxxer blogs and articles that we found were often written from personal perspectives, so when people read them they have an emotional response and feel like they can relate to another parent vs. a doctor presenting cold facts.

Descriptive norms: Anti-vaxxers see that others are not vaccinating their children and feel validated in their decision to not vaccinate as well.

Injunctive norms: People that are in favor of vaccinations believe in the idea of “herd immunity” and social responsibility to vaccinate themselves and their families to prevent outbreaks of preventable diseases.

5. The pro-vaccination camp looks at the bigger picture and sees their actions as beneficial to themselves and society as a whole, while anti-vaxxers see vaccination as a personal choice about their family’s health.

6. A neutrally framed article on the vaccination and autism issue would cite several sources, present both sides of the argument, and use quotes from authorities on the subject.
