Antivaxx Facebook groups share talking points they think work with family members and friends, including articles on junky natural news sites saying that say outlandish stuff about the vaccine.

It's not about persuading people in the group. It's an ammo dump in the IRL infowar. https://t.co/SBk5RuGtky
