Many people with whom I've spoken over the last two years have chosen to rely on their own immune system, not understanding that a vaccine is priming/educating the individual's immune system. In your experience do you think a 'cartonish' or animated presentation of immune response might be effective? Challenging, but do you think this information which is not as dependent on authority, although expertise could be helpful?
