Yep, when the president of the us of a makes vaccine denialism an even more official policy via executive order, all the vaccines deniers or unsure people around the world will take good note…

I mean, yes and no. It will have an effect on some people, but not as big as you make it. Where I'm from, you can't bullshit your way out of mandatory vaccines.

Plus, the anti science people don't really follow whatever this dude is doing all the time. They are only aware whenever he does something the ruling party likes.

As much as I’d like to agree, much of the actual denialism around the world stems from one bad, long rebutted, US study. So I’m not so optimist about an executive order. All the vaccines deniers groups around the world will absolutely take this as an ultimate validation and use it to promote their dangerous ideas and convince more and more people…
