I feel like folks who have common sense just need to state obvious truths like:

Vaccines save lives.

and put that message (and other similar) on repeat. Like - did you know:

Vaccines save lives.

Because, I thought this was obvious, but obviously a lot of people have.. forgotten? Didn't think about it enough? Because:

Vaccines save lives.

Would it work? Would some idiots out there go, huh, maybe

Vaccines save lives.

For honest folks who want the data, I have receipts:

@Joy_intl Great great chart! I’m curious why it stops at 2010 though. Would be even more effective if it showed the reemergence of cases since the anti-vax movement as well. Thx again. 👍

@gedeonm Always ready to share research!
I am not the author of the chart, but perhaps there's more insight:

I toyed with the idea of just cheerfully signing off conversations like this. Instead of "See you later!" or "Have a nice day!"

We just sign off with "Vaccines save lives!" or "Kindness is strength!"

@HeliaXyana Yes! Maybe I'll create a list and rotate them by month?

Create a visual to go with each?

What other 'obvious' truths do you think of?

@Joy_intl

Oh, I like that. So, we'd need at least 12... Lemme think....

- "Diversity is our strength"
- "Love is love"
- "Trans rights are human rights"
- "Smash patriarchy"
- "It's okay to not be okay"
- "Kindness is strength"
- "There is no planet B"
- "Earth without art is just eh"
- "Fight for inclusion!"
- "Unity in diversity!"
- "My body, my rules!"
- "Tax the rich!"

How about these?

@HeliaXyana Great! ☺️
I'll see if I can add to it - apparently common sense needs spreading

@Joy_intl I've said this forever. The mind is plastic and if you just keep repeating the truth it eventually penetrates. And because truth is universal and fictions are local truth will always in the end prevail. But the repetition has to never stop.
