27. I'm tempted to say Pro Vac but I feel like the way they go about it feels kinda wrong.

Attacking and denigrating people who have a different set of point of view is not the way to bring them to your side.

Even if I would promote vaccination, and think that whatever opposition to vaccination is besides the point, and even if there was an issue, the chances of such an issue actually happening is so remote that the probability of it is almost close to 0, it is better to go about it that way, rather than just attacking them and calling them idiots, all it does is make them go for confirmation bias, and make a bigger deal out of a mole hill.
