A war against baseless, anti-scientiic arguments, they say
The anti-vaccine lobby in the State, which used to make use of social media to propagate its arguments against the immunisation drive, has started facing the music from the same platform. Severe and concerted verbal attacks are being carried out in the social media against those who resist vaccination for children. The broadside against the vaccine haters escalated with the launch of the month-long Measles-Rubella (MR) vaccine campaign a few days ago. Malayalam troll groups on Facebook are leading the biggest war against the antivaccine lobby. “We have the moral responsibility. We should resist in an organised fashion the baseless, antiscientific arguments,” said Rahul Raj, a doctor who is an admin of the International Chalu Union (ICU). ICU has dedicated its cover page for the MR vaccine campaign. Other troll groups such as Troll Republic, Foodie’s Paradise, Troll Malappuram, and Infoclinic too have taken up the responsibility of shutting up the anti-vaccine advocates. With nearly five lakh members, the ICU currently enjoys the status of being the largest troll group in Malayalam.
