But Leask says refusers are more likely to have a university education than those who accept vaccination. Scientific arguments in favour of immunisation, in isolation, will not convince them and may even increase their resolve not to immunise.
The medical professionals i have discussed vaccination with haven't been able to answer my questions, and have gone back to fear tactics 'your child will die', and ignored my concerns which has led me to question more what they are saying and the vaccination program generally. I agree with the article that further education for medical professionals could help, but i am pretty sure that some of those i have spoken to wouldn't be interested in further education.
