Wickham unveils the motivations of anti-vaccine advocates, from genuine concerns about vaccine safety to ideological opposition and the pursuit of personal agendas.

Wickham provides practical guidance on how to engage with anti-vaccine individuals respectfully, using evidence and compassion to counter misinformation and promote vaccine confidence. She emphasizes the need for collaboration, education, and robust public health policies to combat the anti-vaccine movement and safeguard our collective health.
