Vaccines have saved over ten million lives since 1962, but skepticism remains rampant. In this eye-opening webinar, Leslie shares his journey into the online vaccine debate, sparked by a simple Facebook post, and offers insights into the psychological and cognitive biases fueling the anti-vaccine movement. Leslie will provide a clear distinction between anti-vaxxers and the vaccine-hesitant, tips on effective engagement, and strategies to counter misinformation with objective, evidence-based information.
