Vaccinations are widely available throughout the United States, yet many people refuse to obtain them because they are terrified of the shots. Anti-vaccine activists’ misleading posts on the internet, as well as Republican politicians’ claims that immunizations are part of government control efforts, are fueling skepticism.

Facebook and others, according to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, are not doing enough to push back.
