Difficulties faced by physicians from four European countries in rebutting antivaccination arguments: a cross-sectional study by Fernanda Rodrigues, Cornelia Betsch, Pierre Verger, Harriet Fisher, Philipp Schmid, Dawn Holford, Angelo Fasce, Amanda Garrison, Linda Karlsson, Frederike Taubert, Stephan Lewandowsky, Anna Soveri

“…The aim of this article was to determine physicians’ perceptions of difficulties in rebutting different antivaccination arguments from patients using data collected as part of a cross-sectional, cross-national questionnaire on physicians’ vaccine attitudes and behaviours.Methods Physicians in 4 European countries (Finland, Germany, France and Portugal, total n=2718) rated 33 different arguments, chosen to represent 11 different psychological motivations underlying vaccine hesitancy, in terms of their perceptions of how difficult each argument would be to rebut.Results Across all countries, physicians perceived arguments based on religious concerns and ‘reactance’ (ie, resistance to perceived curbs of freedom) to be the most difficult to rebut, whereas arguments based on patients’ distorted perception of the risks of disease and vaccines were perceived to be the easiest. …”
