It upsets me so much to think that people watched these updates & failed to call a doctor, failed to call an ambulance. Now media share them to the already convinced -do anti-vaxxers even see these? Are they persuaded by the subtle victim shaming, in the face of national tragedy?

It’s exploitative, most of them aren’t framed in a way that they would actually connect with a persuadable leaning anti-vaxxer. I’m sick of seeing them. It feels wrong.
If you’re going to share something like this as a journalist or someone with an influential account the least you should be doing is trying to frame it in such a way that it’s a compassionate appeal to convince that audience. Few are.
People are rubber necking at a car crash.
