Nadine Gartner, The Washington Post; How do you get anti-vaxxers to vaccinate their kids? Talk to them — for hours.
"My independent nonprofit, Boost Oregon,
has found a way to reach these families by giving them an opportunity
to learn about vaccines directly from medical professionals. The
response has been overwhelmingly positive. In exit surveys, the vast
majority of people who attend our workshops say they’ve decided to
vaccinate their children as recommended by the American Academy of
Pediatrics. Our approach works, but it’s time- and labor-intensive.
Though we’re training medical professionals to bring these workshops
across the state, it’s challenging to scale up quickly. After nearly
four years of these efforts, I’ve learned that debunking misconceptions
is a delicate art."
Issues and developments related to ethics, information, and technologies, examined in the ethics and intellectual property graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published in Summer 2025. Kip Currier, PhD, JD
